書く (write)
書きたい (want to write)
書きたさ (the want**ing to write)**
this さ is the objective nomalisation of adjetives.
Since たい is an adjective, I would imagine the さ is doing it’s normal function of turning it into a quantifiable noun.
強い (strong) -> 強さ (physical “measurable” strength)
見たい (want to see) -> 見たさ (the physical “measurable” act of wanting to see? Not sure how to phrase it, I just woke up)
There’s also み
強い -> 強み (unmeasurable strength, the more subjective “idea” of strength)
