Pros and cons

Writing, as in everything, has its up and downs. Pros and cons.
Here are a few of my thoughts on the matter.

Pros:
I love it
Making other people (albeit fiction people) do my bidding...rocks!
There's always a happy ending
Fan letters
Bestseller lists
Name recognition

Cons:
Redoing my damn web page. (Yes. This IS a pet peeve. I need enough cash flow to pay someone to torture themselves with html and jpg. *sigh* That is SO not my forte. Nor do I wish it to be.)
Pressure. (Yes. Usually my own. The self-imposed GOTTA GOTTA GOTTA I give myself.)
The sagging middle. pffffffffffftttttttttt
Redoing my damn web page. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Synopsis
Squeezing a blurb into fifty words

And you?
Which is magic? Which is mayhem?
Grins*

Can't think of too many pro's right now.

Ummm....an excuse to buy esoteric books.
An excuse to buy cool software
Sex scenes.

Cons:
seeing an email from your agent. If it were an offer, she'd call, she emails if its a rejection.
When every word on the screen is crap for the day.
Giving up other activities to spend more time writing.

Greatest Pro: seeing "THE END"

Greatest Con: definitely sagging middle
