When everything comes together...

I am a quilter. I love planning the quilt, thinking about it, but, while quilting, I complain nonstop about it. I hate measuring. I hate cutting. I hate sitting at the machine. I despise putting on borders, in fact think it is hell. So, what is it I like about quilting? What is it that makes me buy the fabric and plan the quilts and do all of that stuff I hate?

I love to see it come together.

I'm much the same about writing. While I love thinking about the story and how it comes together. I hate writing it, only because I spend the whole time thinking that I write like crap. I hate editing, it's like pulling teeth. But reading it back makes me feel the same way that finishing a quilt does...

Satisfied.
