Goodreads asked Trevor Gates:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Trevor Gates To me, the best thing about being a writer is also the worst thing. I think I can speak for most writers when we talk about the sheer maddening aspect of having so much in your head--SO much to tell and finding the utmost difficulty flushing it out in the way that we can consider as close to perfection as possible. I love that I am compelled to write and explore the stories hidden in my head, but will they be well-received? You just never know, but you take the risk. You bite the bullet, flood it into overdrive and fly like a bat out of hell. The best thing about writing is knowing that you are molding and piecing a story together and the connection you make with your reader, especially when they are thoroughly enjoying themselves reading your work.
