Joy in Writing?

       There's joy in writing, maybe more post-writing than beforehand or in the process.

       I was thinking this when I finished writing the "mocking birds" post yesterday.  How much it felt like the end of each day's writing of my Ph.D. dissertation: 

       Not really thinking you had it or had much of value to say and at the end of the day's writing, realizing you're much happier you wrote this than not having ventured it.  It was much better than you thought it was going to be!
