    Solving a problem.

    Pondering on a problem of plot, character, the world and the rules that govern it, reaching that point of desperation and thinking I'm just never going to come up with a way to solve it...

    And then I do.

    There's nothing like that moment. The "Aha!" moment or whatever they like to call it. And the way everything just fits into place afterwards? Amazing.

    This is exactly what I love also. I can be stuck for weeks trying to make sense of things. My problem is I always come up with something to fix my story at 3:00 am. I wake up and it just hits me. I sit up in bed and scream to myself "You Fool!" Then I can't get back to sleep until I write it out.
    Many times I would find myself falling asleep at work because of this.
    But there is truly no better feeling for me when I work these problems out.

    My favorite part is burning the entire piece.

    Making the audience realize the answer was in the beginning.

    Probably the initial idea and initial stretching it out into a rough outline. That's before the hard work begins.

    I like letting my imagination run wild. I can write what I want and not be judged :)

    Worldbuilding. If I ever do become successful enough to warrant a book just about one of the world's I've made, then it will likely be larger than most people care for.
