Goodreads asked Kelly Grey Carlisle:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Kelly Grey Carlisle I think the best thing about practicing writing is that it trains you to look at the world in a different way. You pay better attention to the details that make life rich and tragic and gorgeous. There's a saying that you love what you pay attention to; writing helps you love the world, in spite of its horrors, because you see its profound beauty as well. This happens whether or not your are published; what matters is that you practice.
