When you look at something, and your heart is overflowing with joy, and you think "I helped bring that about!"
I don't think it ever is as good with writing as with the effects of writing, though. Sometimes, my writing seems really good, really damn good, but often it seems a bit embarrassing. But, sometimes it reaches out and touches someone and does what I wanted it to do, and that makes up for a lot of the pain in the process.
And, writing can definitely be filed under "curse" to some degree.
