Like most writers I have too many irons in too many fires. That said, I'm putting most of my energy into a genre novel and also into a regional wine book. I know, I know. But you never said my answer had to make sense.

Those moments when everything flows, when the perfect words and the perfect actions and the perfect emotions all come together.
The other "best thing" is when a reader tells you how much they enjoyed your work; the feeling an author gets from that kind of feedback is deep and immensely satisfying.

A common question but the reality is that a writer simply can't indulge writer's block, a writer must, in fact, deny its very existence. One key to writing is to plant yourself in the chair/sofa/swing/hammock every day and put words to paper (or screen). Writing as a profession is like any other; doctors don't have doctoring block, real estate agents don't have house-selling block. While it's true that artists may paint over a canvas fifty times or musicians may search over and over for the right note or tempo or that architects may resize and redesign a single project dozens of times, the salient point is that people doing work they believe in strive to accomplish something each and every day.
