Compulsion is the word I always use. A friend at a writers workshop asked our cohort once: “If you knew you would never publish anything, would you keep writing?” And the answer for me was yes. I love to write. It’s a compulsion to write. I feel better when I have a creative project.

Best of luck on your marathon! And the marathon of writing your book!!

"It gives me something to do just for me that has nothing to do with my kid." DEEPLY relatable.
