Remember Why!

     I am a writer. I am a writer. I am a writer.
     Yes I get it! I am a writer. So why do I have to repeat it so often? Why do any of us question what we do? It's not like there are those around us who question our decisions (said tongue in cheek).
     Perhaps it is just ourselves comparing what we are able to do to others who we believe do it better?
     Ever wonder if, those others, sit in their rooms late at night and question themselves? Of course people do, it's human nature. You are human right?  (with all this talk of A.I., you never know). However if you're a writer then there will always be a question about your humanity (again said tongue in cheek). After all who is crazy enough to put the long hours and effort into creating something that most folks may never see and if they do, will they enjoy it?
     So why do writers write? Can't speak for others, just myself. My answer may not satisfy those who wish to know, however other writers will probably understand...here goes.
     Last night I finished the final, final, rewrite of my third book in the series of the E.L.F. Saga, called Resolute. Was I glad, sorta of. Was I happy, kinda of. Was I stoked out of my flipping mind that a huge weight had just lifted off my shoulders, that a book I have been working on almost a year was ready to be published, yup! It felt like a real ahh moment.
      So as a writer what did I do? Took a moment to bask in the light of accomplishment before I continued to work on the fourth book of the series, Rebellion.
      Do I remember why I started to be a writer...No I don't. I just know why I continue, and that is all I need!
