...It's what I'm meant to do.
For the most part, it's solitary and unsung work, which is fine, but you don't write to make friends during lunch break. And then, it's very public, with reviews and reader interactions, which for an introvert, is difficult. Even the chores of the industry, (and there are many) are tolerated for the ultimate driving goal of delivering quality entertainment to readers.
If a book can also distract someone during hard times, brighten a bad day, help them feel understood, or encourage someone to a healthier life standard, so much the better.
