There are ups and downs with the writing. You are coming up with great ideas, and putting them to paper. At the same time, you find yourself struggling to start a new sentence or chapter. But ultimately, it's fun and satisfying, especially when you craft something you are proud of. A special kind of enjoyment you can't find anywhere else. (less)

This is especially true for science fiction writing. The story needs to be grounded in logic, but then again the possibilities can be near endless when one is imagining the future or some alien world. The writing can also feel quite personal when you start basing the story off of real events, or your own experiences. And I think that can fuel your writing. (less)
