The fun of being a writer

There’s so many negative things out there about being a writer that I thought I would do something on the fun of being one.  Like:

Being able to write about cool things like adventuring and action—but none of the real life danger. I’ve been near an explosion.  Making one up in a story is sooo much safer, and I can make sure the characters aren’t that close to it.
Traveling in space, or traveling under the sea.
Find lost treasure! 
Be a superhero.  Where else can you fly but in a story?
Solve a crime.  My early stories were like Nancy Drew, a girl detective solving crimes.

What’s fun for you?
