God-like behavior

Why do I create?
Why do I write this blog? Or my novels (as yet unpublished, alas)? Or make my movies?
Because, when I'm done, whatever it is exists, where nothing existed before.
That is, in a sense, god-like, and it feels like it sometimes, when it works. (Or the Muse intervenes, the Greeks would say.)

In addition, I started a new job today, after several months of being 'on the beach'.
Work, I find, is highly overrated.

One of the goals of all this creation is to make something (a novel, a screenplay) that people are willing to pay (and hopefully aplenty) for.

Or win the lottery. Either is fine. (The Pennsylvania lottery was over two hundred million last weekend, and the New Jersey lottery is over two hundred million right now.) Let us hope I get the right numbers this time...
