The best part of writing a book is in those first days when ideas flow freely and you are not constrained by such bothersome things as plot, character development or proper grammar. An artist friend of mine in New Orleans called it the "incubation" phase, and I suppose it is common to most all creative processes.
It's when an artist or writer is most alive, when new territory is charted, when there is a sense of total freedom and the only thing that matters is the pure joy of creating something unique and new.
I can't wait to get started on my next book. That's the fun part!
