Why I Write

Want to know the quickest way to feel like like a deity? Sit down and write a sci-fi and/or fantasy novel. You literally create you own world(s), species, languages, etc. Also, like a deity, you have to start from scratch, and hope in the end, the world is not destroyed. Plus, if you don't like the direction your world is heading, you can always end it, and start over. Total freedom of creation.
