writing vs reading

Yesterday, I allowed my husband to read the beginning of my NaNo novel (he’s been trained not to mention the glitches in grammar and style) and he said it drew him in (yay!).
Then, I realized why I like writing more than I like reading.
While reading, I always know that the author has somehow solved all the problems and dealt with the plot, better or worse.
While writing, I know that nobody, even the author, knows how this will end and what surprises await.

That’s the excitement and the scare of it.
