YES! I recently re-read an essay by Barbara Kingsolver, in which she comments on this very idea. Someone was whining to her about how hard writing was, and she responded with something like "No. It's not. Putting down street pavement when it's over 100 degrees is HARD. Writing is actually enjoyable work." <br /><br />I'm paraphrasing, but hopefully I'm relaying the sentiment.

I enjoy doing the edits when it comes back from the editor at the publishing company. I love setting up promotions and meeting people at the in-person events. I like the promotion I do on the Net. I love going to new places and meeting people while attending conferences and conventions.<br /><br />Yep, I enjoy being a writer.<br /><br />MarilynMarilyn Meredith a.k.a. F. M.
