Everyone has a list on their desk telling the best parts of the thing they like to do. Well, this is mine!
1 – I get to express my opinion with the expectation that someone, somewhere will read it.
2 – When I write a word, I’m 98% positive I’ve spelled it right and used it properly in a sentence (this is a really big deal for some writers, like me).
3 – I know the difference between journalism and fiction. I prefer fiction, but I can write either.
4 – When I get done writing, I’m comfortable deleting words and writing them again. They’re not my baby – they’re my job.
5 – No matter how long I sit at the computer staring at a blank screen, I know that when I get up at least one line of absolutely profound words will have escaped my fingers and entered cyber-space with a vengeance due unto none other.
Yes, dear, the world does need another writer. Try your hand and leave a comment referencing one of your favorite great things about writing.

Hi Jan,
My favorite thing about writing is the ability to jump onto the imagination train and ride away. The freedom to create, the power to express, the joy of communication. And ‘kutting’ the baby klean…is the key to success!
