Oh, gee. Creating is a compulsion. You get the satisfaction of no longer being restless because you haven't created in a while.

With sewing, my favorite parts are 1) designing it in your head and on paper - imagining how it comes together, and 2) just putting one stitch after the next without having to think anymore. My least favorite parts, in comparison, is when you come to a tricky bit in the stitching, stuffing, or fiddly little decorations that just won't stay in, hemming...

With art, inking, and filling in fields with color. I can spend hours completely immersed in the digital phase, but I don't actually enjoy shading, because it's the one thing I have to "mouse-paint", and mouse-painting is just frustrating.

All of knitting is pretty much the same at the level I am. It's all fun, though I think I need to develop a callus on my right hand index finger.

Writing is a kind of a panicked mess or a trance, so it's hard to say which part is my favorite. No, wait, I can say it: it's when it comes together and you realize that you wrote something that works, or something that's different. I like looking at a story and knowing that, even if nobody else in the world likes it, you've made something you, at least, can be proud of. There are a few like that, and they're probably depressing and inaccessible.
