What is the most rewarding thing about being a writer?
Wine! Women! Song!--No, wait. I imagined that. Rock stars, not writers, have a corner on those markets.
No, it's the raw power! It may only be a side-effect of my congenital megalomania but when I write I exercise the god-like power of bringing something into existence where nothing existed before. With the stroke of a pen I call worlds into being. All power is mine ... until my characters take on a life of their own and reject me as their god (which is, of course, another story).
All of which is true only in my imagination--which brings me to the most accurate answer: the thing I find most rewarding as a writer is that I get to spend quality time with my imagination.
What is it that you find most rewarding about writing?
