As an author, I get asked this question often. For me, writing is a desire and a need to express myself through words. My favorite line is- Paint me a picture with words. The creative part of writing is part of that need, a need to create something out of my imagination and to do it in such a way that the reader can accept and draw them into a story in such a way they can feel like they are there in the world, or event that I created. Bringing other enjoyment through my words is an incredible feeling.
