I like the idea that every page in every book can have a gem on it. It's probably what I love most about writing - that words can be used in a way that's like a child playing in a sandpit, rearranging things, swapping them around.
That's typically what writers do; we just sit around complaining most of the time. And the better things are going, the more they complain.
