Lovelyalferez asked Mary E. Pearson:

Hi Ms. Mary I hope you will answer my question to you Hows your feeling when you write stories?

Mary E. Pearson Every possible way you can imagine. Sometimes I am feeling what my character is feeling at the moment--that is the goal at least--to get fully inside their head and imagine their doubts, their fears, their hopes, and all the whys and histories that brought them to that point.
And then sometimes as I write I feel doubt, excitement, or fear as a writer. Am I telling the story the best way I can? Am I being true to the characters? Heck, am I making any sense at all? Writing is rarely easy, and I have to learn to push through the doubts. And sometimes I feel surprised, like someone else has written a scene and I am caught off guard as I watch it unfold, or a detail that I thought was unimportant suddenly is crucial to the plot.
And oh, when I type those last words, THE END, I feel enormous relief--because there are many times when I fear I won't ever get there. And then on the heels of relief, I feel sadness too because I don't want to say goodbye to characters I have loved.
So you can see L, there are a LOT of different feelings that take hold in the process of writing a book!
