Why I love this job!

I often wonder what life would be like as someone else. I will watch commercials and see a hair dresser or an airline flight attendant and wonder what it would be like to be that person to live their life, what would their family look like? What about their friends? What would they do in an extraordinary circumstance?

I guess that’s why I’m a writer. I get to explore all sorts of different lives, as I am often bored with just one. I so look forward to researching and exploring the backgrounds of the characters I write about. 

This is why I love about writing. Not only the factual items of a story, but the what and wheres of scenery and circumstance and job descriptions, and the imagination of who and why, blending to create a story from fact and fiction. This creation, this is the craft I truly love.
