Couple that with the admonition to get the words down, no matter what, means that it is very difficult to succumb to writer's block. As a caveat, I try my best, when on the first draft, not to overly critique what's coming out. That frees me up to write the story before going back to craft it closer to what it will be.

If you're stringing words together, that's writing. It also means you're not blocked because you're doing what writers do. You just have to keep doing it.(less)

To that end, I'm going to give two of the many answers.

1. Freedom to explore things. Because I write, I can dip into a variety of minds, places, genres and countless other aspects just by starting to string the words togethers. Some will be amazing and others will need quite a bit of work, but that's not a bad process either.

2. I feel the best when I'm doing it. The very act of creating makes me feel amazing. There's so much that I can talk about it this regard, but suffice it to say that the very act of the telling changes me in such powerful and good ways.

Many more after that, but those are really good parts about getting to write.(less)
