Remember that book that you couldn't get into and couldn't get past page five, suddenly it's the most unputdownable book you have. It all depends on the right mood and the right time. If you ask a writer why do they write they often say that it's a compulsion. If you wake up in the morning and your first thoughts are about writing, then you're a writer. It's just something you have to do.
Writing is as natural as breathing.
Combine that with the moments that make the writing worthwhile. Knowing that people out there are reading or want to read your books. Grace receives letters from readers congratulating her on her books. A number of readers have written to say how Ordinary Miracles has helped them through the break-up of their marriages at a time when they felt lonely and betrayed. Being a writer might be a funny old business but there are moments that make you realize very powerfully why you bother to do it.
