What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Writing for me is the best way I've found to articulate my thoughts. It's a way to make my ideas tangible using only a word processor and my own abilities. It's a medium that's easy to get into but difficult to master. When used properly, it takes a limited medium such as text on a page or computer screen, and uses it to create a deep, intricate world that stimulates the imagination and leaves a memorable impression upon the reader.
Who are your favorite authors?
That's a tough one to answer as it's never the author that pulls me into a book. It's the story. I could list some of my favorite stories, though making an ordered list would be nearly impossible as my favorites change depending on my mood. My favorite story at the moment could be an exceptionally well thought forum post, or it could be a novel that's heavier then a cat.
There are plenty of great authors out there. You don't need me to tell you who they are.
