It seems very labor-intensive. I've reached the point where I try to avoid labor-intensive unless 1) I can make money at it, or 2) it will improve my property value (which in a way is a variation of 1).
Yes, the sheer pleasure part--I kinda treated that as a given, despite what I posted earlier about scene-wrestling. Learned the hard way that if I don't like it, I have a very hard time doing it.

Yes, I'm with you all the way. I love making up stories, and part of the reason I want to get back to it is simply the love of storytelling. But I'd rather make a living at that than anything else I know of--so getting it back, and figuring out what I can write that will be popular and pay the bills, is in the back of my mind.
