The Love of Writing
I’m finally back into the swing of things writing-wise, and I am really loving the current project I’m working on! With my awesome England vacation and having a stomach bug last week, it’d been awhile since I got any real words down. But last night, I sat down and got to work and remembered how much I love this idea and how excited I am to tell this story.
It made me think about how important it is to write what we love. Personally, my best writing comes from when I am engrossed in a story I really want to tell. I really do think that passion is reflected in the writing, too. The books with the most heart are the books written with the most love. Or maybe I’m just a sap. 
What do you think?

I agree. When I love a book I’m working on, it comes through in the writing. I can’t sleep because I can’t wait to wake up and write some more. I love this quote, “Pick a job that you love and you never will work a day in your life.” Writing is like that. It never feels like work or an obligation. That’s the best part!
I can’t wait to read your new book!
If you’re a sap, then so am I. I agree completely.
I think it applies to all kinds of storytelling, too. Whether it’s a book, a movie, or a TV show, you can always tell the ones that were created with love and affection. And those are always the most satisfying stories.
