The Importance of Loving What You Write

Hi! I'm going to make a quick post about loving what you write. Now, first off, you're going to write a story even YOU wouldn't read, then what's the point? If you're bored with the story while writing it, what about while editing it, or while trying to write a query for it? If you aren't enthuasatic about your book, then who else will be? So first up: love what you write.
I know that if sometimes feels lulling to me while I write, or I just don't feel like writing, I think why? I look back and think, "Would I read this or skim through it?" I try to write to entertain myself, and in doing so, I entertain my audience along the way.
I'm editing my book, and it's almost done, and I'm just thinking, "Wow. I really love my story." And you may think that is rhetorical, for what writer doesn't love their story? But I've read this thing two times, and the beginning thrice and I'm still not tired with it. I manage to crack myself up everytime!
I know that if I was reading something boring, I would be bored. But thankfully I love what I've written and I love reading it and I know my love for it shows through my writing or when I talk about it to somebody.
Basically, love what you write. :)
