Your Craft: Why Do You Write?

My First Thoughts

When I write, I research. For me, the facts,,, sometimes, even the smallest detail… are important! (I hate to discover a fallacy in a novel. The storyline suddenly stops and all I can think about for the next half-hour -or longer- is… Don’t they know how to Google?)

Suddenly, there is a flurry of inept fingers and misspellings on the keyboard because there is a fact that is so overwhelmingly relevant in my life I cannot wait to discover the answer.
