How does a good author come to be?

Lately, I find myself pondering this very question.  I guess it comes from that endless searching, reaching beyond into the mysterious void and coming back with a tiny piece of something magical that helps us transform our otherwise mundane existence into something grand. 

That's a little deep, given it's just after 11am here on the east coast ...

I will leave you with this juicy tid bit:  I recently read that Stephen King writes over 2,000 words a day!

Rock On!  {Lord knows I can't write that much consistently day after day ... my brain has to reboot after about 5,000 words and take a mental break.}
