It does! Of course it’s tiring and difficult sometimes, but that’s just part of the writing process. On the whole, I love writing TaoD. 

It’s amazing to slowly bring this story that I’ve had in my head/notes for so long to life, to find the right words to make it all come together properly. To notice where my planning was good and worked, and where I have to fiddle with things along the way to make them fit. I love sharing the result and getting feedback. 

And I also love going back and rereading it. 

“Write the story you’d want to read” is advice that is commonly given to authors, and one that I’ve definitely followed while writing TaoD. Not just in terms of storytelling, but also in terms of writing style, putting the sentences together in a style I find entertaining and pleasing to read. 

When I go back to reread my own chapters, I enjoy myself. I actually have to be careful not to get distracted, because it’s really easy for me to get sucked into my own story xDD I think that means I must have done something right. 

So yes, even when it gets difficult sometimes, I love every aspect of writing TaoD :3

I’m sorry for butting in but I just have to add to this! 

It’s honestly so good to hear other writers saying that they enjoy their own work, because your own enjoyment is the most important thing when it comes to writing. If you’re not having fun while writing it, then it probably won’t turn out the way you want it to. 

As much as I love coming up with ideas and planning out the plot, my favourite part about writing is probably the editing process hehe. I just love going back and looking at how much I’ve accomplished, even if it’s just for a short one-shot or something.

So basically–write what you enjoy (and this obviously goes for art and other content creation as well) and it’ll turn out a lot better than if you force yourself to do something that doesn’t really fit your interests.

Okay, I’m sorry for intruding! I’ll be quiet now.
