Goodreads asked S. Lynn Helton:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

S. Lynn Helton I think the best thing about being a writer is that I get to discover so many fascinating tidbits of a great variety of interesting subjects to help me with my writing. Some recent topics I learned about—that otherwise I might never have encountered—include the origins of our concept of 60 minutes for an hour, what's involved in firing a flintlock gun, and words in various languages, including Akkadian. It's so much fun getting lost in researching things that I can adapt for my stories!
