What's the most enjoyable part of the writing process?

All good writers know that writing isn't easy.
所有優秀的作家都知道，寫作並不容易。
Neil Gaiman, author of "Coraline" and other works, once said: "Being a writer is a very peculiar sort of a job: It's always you versus a blank sheet of paper (or a blank screen), and quite often the blank piece of paper wins."
尼爾·蓋曼，“鬼媽媽”(台譯“第十四道門”)等其他作品的作者，曾經說過：“作為一個作家，是一個非常獨特的一種工作：它始終是你與一個空白紙本的相處，而經常總是空白紙本獲勝。“
Most writers would probably agree. But while writing may not be easy, we love it anyway.
大多數作家可能會同意。書寫可能並不容易，但我們仍舊喜愛它。

What is your favorite part of the writing process, other than the finished product? (That would be too easy.)
除了完成成品時，你最喜歡的寫作過程是什麼呢？（這將是太容易了。）
Ragan.com asked its Facebook group this question, and most respondents agreed that there's nothing better than when the words begin to flow. Here's what they had to say:
Ragan.com 問其Facebook的群組這個問題，大多數受訪者認為沒有什麼比字句可以開始如行雲流水般運作更好了。這裡就是他們不得不說：
"The moment the lead comes to me." - Paige Skinner
"When it all starts clickin'!" - Dawn Marie Gorman
"The deluge of ideas, when words start to move like Jagger in your head, the adrenaline rush." - Cathy Hizo
“引航時刻降臨於我。” - Paige Skinner
“當所有開始清晰'！” - Dawn Marie Gorman
“創意如朝水洶湧 當字詞像傑格(滾石主唱)那樣在你腦海裡活靈活現的移動，腎上腺素飆速。” - Cathy Hizo
"When words tumble from your head onto the page. Intense, unstoppable and more achieved in one hour than the previous six." - EDG Communications
"When you hit your stride and adrenaline helps fuel you to the finish. I love getting completely immersed in a topic." - Katy Ryan Schamberger
Others like when they already have the ideas and can finally determine the best way to articulate them:
“當字詞靈光乍現般落至頁面上。熱情的，勢不可擋般，在一小時內比先前的更趨動實現。” - EDG通訊
“當你昂首闊步，腎上腺素成為有助於你到終點的燃料。我喜愛完全沉浸在一個主題。” - Katy Ryan Schamberger
其他人喜歡當他們已經有想法出現時，終於可以決定以最好的方式來表達他們：
"When you can finally convert your thoughts into the written piece you are writing. I always know what I want to say, but actually formulating the words to communicate the message doesn't come as easily. But I like when it all comes together and I get in my groove." - Daria Cuda
“當你終於可以轉變您的想法成為你正撰寫的。我總是知道我想說的是什麼，但實際上有系統的闡述話語以傳達的信息並不容易，但我想這一切終會在一起，我覺得精神奕奕。“ - Daria Cuda
"Developing something that would by all other accounts be deemed a word salad at best, into a wieldy word entree that should be consumed by the masses." - Meredith Plaxco
“以大家的說詞去發展某些可能性被認為最會造成言語紊亂，進入一個易於使用的字應該被群眾消耗的。” - Meredith Plaxco
"Arranging random word pieces into a beautiful paragraph picture!" - Laura Warfel
“將隨機字塊佈置成一個美麗片段畫面！” - Laura Warfel
But organizing your thoughts and getting the words to flow is a challenge. Josey Rebelle shared what runs through her mind when she sits down to write. Does this sound familiar?
但是，組織你的想法和得到的流暢的字語是一種挑戰。喬西Rebelle分享當她坐下來寫坐時貫穿她的腦海的思緒。這聽起來熟悉嗎？
"Oh, I should get a cup of tea, and hang on, this notebook is awful for writing notes. Let me grab another one. Ah, it's lunchtime now. People work better after lunch anyway, I definitely read that somewhere. Let me check all my emails. Actually, let me reply to all my emails from the last month. That's writing too, you know, and will probably help me get into my stride. Oh wow, 6 p.m. already. Well I think it'd be better to get in to the office really early and get this feature done. I always feel a lot more productive in the mornings!"
“哦，我應該得到一杯茶，且緊握不放。用這台筆電寫筆記是很可怕的。讓我拿另一個。啊，現在是午餐時間。人們午餐後工作反而更好，我肯定在某處讀過。讓我檢查我所有的電子郵件。事實上，讓我從上個月開始回覆我所有的電子郵件，這也是一種寫作。你知道，可能會幫助我不入正軌，哇哦，下午6點了。嗯，我認為得確實早點進入到辦公室將這篇專欄完成，我總是感覺在早晨可以有更好的產能！“
There are also times when you just want to give up before you begin. Troy Griggsby says his favorite part of the writing process is "never starting."
What do you think is the most enjoyable part of the writing process?
也有數次在你還未開始時就放棄。Troy Griggsby 說，寫作過程中他最喜歡的部分是“從來沒有開始。”
你認為寫作過程中什麼是最有趣的部分呢？
