Goodreads asked Kalen Vaughan Johnson:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Kalen Vaughan Johnson All the fascinating people you meet .... at least in your mind! There's nothing quite like exploring a character and discovering personalities and emotions. You develop them and watch interactions with other characters, the circumstances of their setting and time period. It's fun to think about, "What would I do in those circumstances? Would I handle what was thrown at me differently than my characters?" There's an excitement to the world you build inside your head. It grows to a whole new level when you get it on a page. I also love how much I learn while researching. Finding surprises in history never gets dull.
