For me, when I write - well, I mostly have fun! There was a time in which I struggled over writing like a mother over her newborn, but now I find it nothing but exhilarating. There's just something great about expressing yourself, about saying exactly what you feel like saying. And self-expression - well, it comes easier with time.
Great questions, great post. I myself write quite a bit, especially about the craft of writing, so if anyone feels like they might like to hear my thoughts, I'm right here. Thank you so much!
