Goodreads asked Samantha Silva:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Samantha Silva I write to understand what I think, and feel. I think it's how writers tease out the answer to a problem, whether it's a view of the world, or a deeply personal story -- a morally complex dilemma or a simple truth. A writer gets to weave a whole world around it, as a way of illuminating the hardest things about being human. I feel very lucky to get to do that, but honestly, I don't know that I could do it any other way.
