I think obsession is the best way to characterize writing. My first book was a joy to me. Not that I just sat down and kicked it out. I didn't. It took forever for me to finish it. But I wanted it. I needed it. I even experienced a small level of undeserved success with it. But the next book has been a nightmare. I finally finished it. And, worse yet, I can't quit now. Even though I probably should. Obsession, addiction, they're closely aligned, aren't they? But in my case, if I weren't writing, I'd just be sitting here watching my grass grow. Ugh.
