Goodreads asked Julía Bade:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Julía Bade Every has something they love to do. Paint, build, sing, and in my case, I love writing. And when you love it, it makes you happy when you're doing it. Being a professor and raising a family and maintaining a household doesn't always permit me to write as much as I'd like, so now writing has become a treat. The best kind. If I accomplish something, I plop down with my laptop as a reward... if I spend a wonderful day with my kids, treating them to fun and excitement, then the evening is mine to write away. It eases my stress and helps me to forget other scary grown-up issues that make their way in...
