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

I absolutely do.

At first, writing was my constant companion. It helped me through depression, infertility, a stagnant career. It gave me an outlet—a way to process my experiences and emotions in a healthy manner.

I derive so much joy from writing that I (after some supportive prodding from @2b1fdc7f) left that stagnant career to do it full time. Over a year later, I'm so glad I took that leap. I've never been happier. 

 @21149f3e I'm glad you did, and that you're finding satisfaction and happiness. I put in far more hours on writing and related tasks than I ever put into a job and I cherish every one of them. 😃
