Goodreads asked Penney Peirce:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Penney Peirce It's the magic of the creative process combined with the crafting of the language so it conveys certain energy states and emotional states. To do that, you really need a good working knowledge of grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure—just as a painter knows what brush to use or how the paints behave in different circumstances. I also enjoy time to myself and writing does demand that. The process of watching your mind and heart filter knowledge into form is constantly surprising and enjoyable.
