Goodreads asked Tim Calkins:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Tim Calkins Three things! First, when writing you can really develop your ideas. Second, finishing a book is a huge accomplishment; it is a bit like running a marathon. Few people run a marathon (or write a book) and say, "Well, that was easy." Third, it is wonderful when I hear that a reader found the book to be helpful. That is the ultimate goal!
