writing as fun?

Sometimes in our quest for brilliance, we forget what attracted us to writing in the first place. In The Right to Write, Julia Cameron asks, "If you didn't have to actually write it, what might it be fun to write?" Think about the things you like to read, particularly those guilty pleasures you don't always admit to. I myself have always been drawn to courtroom dramas and crime novels, but I've never considered actually writing one. But why not? Spend the next fifteen minutes writing down all the things you'd love to write, if only you didn't have to write them.
