Writing/Love
Libba Bray wrote the funniest post ever about how writing a novel is like falling in love. I'm so glad I'm not alone in my craziness.

Meanwhile, I've got to get back to my first draft... I'm supposed to be madly in love with the story at this point. Hmm....

Y'know, reading it, I felt pretty much the opposite of a lot of what she wrote. Initial excitement aside, I have a terrible time with first drafts! And I never finish a rough draft feeling enamored of it. I really prefer the revision process. [She says, knowing that could very well change with the next book she attempts...]
I hate first drafts, too. But I do feel that oh-you're-so-perfect-I-love-you feeling at the beginning and ending of the first draft. It's just the actual writing of the whole thing that's torture!
