Why do I write?

As I struggle to place one word after another on my computer screen this question frequently banners across my mind.  Sometimes my response is prophetic and though provoking, but often I admit that I must be crazy to do this everyday.

Buidling a realistic fictitious world filled with relatable heroines, lovable heros, and likeable villians is hard work.  Did I mention there has to be emotion, tension, conflict and more conflict for a story worth telling to exist.  

Writing a story that makes you want to keep turning pages is painful and joyous.  But the truth is, I want to share the stories I create with you.

I want you to cheer for the heroine running around in my head, even when she makes everything worse.  

I want you to love the alpha male hero as much as I do.   I know he's too sexy, too possessive, too McGyver, but try to love him. 

I want a villian that is redeemable, though that may not happen until the third book. Most of all, I write because I love a happy ending and I want to share that with you.
