Enjoyment

Today I began to ponder a little bit why writing (or being creative in general) is so appealing and satisfying to me. I came up with something and I want to share it cause I think it applies to everyone for different reasons, but it is a sense of enjoyment all the same:

I think we enjoy creative endeavours because they are always a challenge. They utilize mathematics, reason, emotions, sensations, visualizations, among so much else. Beyond that, it is a blank slate. There is a gratification in conjuring something to life from the ethereal vapors.

I think writing for me is exhilarating because I do not know what will happen or where the characters might go. Each word to each page is opening a new world, and having new adventures, and meeting the people in that world, and exploring it with them.
