If You Write It, -They Will Come...
"I'm a storyteller, it'll all work out in the end." - Shell Beige Bear
Have I missed anything? Passion? But of course. You must crave it, blood lusting Vampire Novelists, Bodice Ripping Scribes, -step this way. And humour? Yes, please! Toss both of these ingredients into the mix, -an extra shake of a great sense of humour if you please, as that's what takes us through the long days and nights of tap-tap-tapping away in the darkest corners of our writing rooms.
What keeps you going on your writing journey?

Meredith, its funny and cringeworthy - I know I felt squeamish in places. A good reminder to us though. ;)
Danette, ah - I only just found it via my twitter feed. ;) Great isn't it?
The joy of being able to create and change keeps me going.
I keep going because I have to. Writing helps me balance my emotions and myself. It centers me.
Carol, can I borrow some of that superglue? It'll keep me in my writing chair, and I can totally relate to getting stories out of your head.
Mary, good to hear! We love a writerly mind!
Talli, its a good video isn' t it? Creating - absolutely,love that! ;)
Golden Eagle, I know it's a mixed reaction but overall its good that it points out some of the misconceptions of trying to write a novel. ;)
Love creating and change - and good that you get joy from it!
Melissa, it's amazing how much writing means to everyone here, I'm loving all the comments. And I feel that way too. If I don't get to write at some stage during the day, I'm peevish.
Carolyn, the video certainly kept me entertained a number of times. ;) Passion, passion, passion - absolutely agree! Gotta have it in buckets to keep on this journey.
