Goodreads asked David C. Russell:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

David C. Russell I think one of the best things about being a writer is the sense of online community one can find with other writers. If one looks in the right places, it can benefit your craft as others provide feedback that you can use or discard at will. You may not like what you are told, but in time, what you are told will prove to be necessary for improvement. Decide what type of writer you want to be, and look for others or groups that also specialize in offering feedback to your type of writing. In time pay it back too.
