" The best thing about writing fiction is that moment where the story catches fire and comes to life on the page, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what it's about and why you're doing it and what these people are saying and doing, and you get to feel like both the creator and the audience. Everything is suddenly both obvious and surprising ("but of course that's why he was doing that, and that means that...") and it's magic and wonderful and strange."

How utterly perfect. It's hit before, what he describes. Mostly, it's been a few of the ideas I've suggested for the Societas. An idea, a spark, will ignite, and my mind follows the lines it lays down, flying along them at the speed of light, making connections and finding solutions and it is absolutely exhilirating and I love it. If I had a job where I felt that nearly everyday, I could die happy. Oh, I'd be exhausted, but it'd be that good exhaustion, that sort of exhaustion where you are left so tired but so fulfilled and you sleep so wonderfully. That would be heaven, that would be perfection.
