The Habit of Creation

So...I've been back for three days. During that time I entered 4 contests.

Each time I wrote a story, I sat back amazed. No, I was not amazed at my skill (or lack thereof). I was amazed that something existed that wasn't there before I wrote it down. It's like a mini-miracle. I created something new. Me. I did it.

How rewarding is that?

I also took a look at my stats for the first time in months. For some reason, people are reading my mini-creations. In 4 years, my stories have been "viewed" almost 67,000 times; 245 times yesterday alone.

This is hugely rewarding for me. To write and have people read my stories is just too good to be true.

So thank you WDC and all of you WDC members out there.

I'm getting on a plane soon. With me will be prompts from the Daily Flash Fiction Challenge and the Writer's Cramp.
