 #WritersCoffeeClub 13: Do you derive joy from writing? In what way?

When it's working and I'm just writing down what I can see my characters doing, then yes. When my characters are being stubborn and just stand there refusing to play, needing to prodded through every scene, not so much. When I finish a chapter I'm happy; when I finish the whole story I'm generally thrilled.

Unfortunately life's been a bit crap for the last couple of years, so it's a lot harder to enjoy writing at the minute. 
 @d47a3784 I hope everything will get better soon, and you can enjoy writing as much as you did before 🧡
