Goodreads asked Pam McGaffin:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Pam McGaffin Those aha moments of inspiration when everything seems to click. You figure out what needs to happen in the next scene, a character reveals him or herself, or you discover how a given detail enhances the theme or meaning of your story. When you feel like you've tapped into a larger truth with a story that needs to be told -- that's magic. It's the payoff from all those hours of hard, frustrating work.
