Goodreads asked E.A. Luetkemeyer:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

E.A. Luetkemeyer There is no one best thing. There are many great and wonderful things. I see writing as an exercise in telepathy that transcends time and space. Images and ideas and emotions are delivered to my conscious mind from a subconscious repository of all ideas and images and emotions which I then arrange into a story and render in symbols on the page. Some time and place later—perhaps tomorrow across town, or maybe thousands of miles and hundreds of years later when I am dead and gone—some anonymous reader will scan the symbols and the story will emerge in his conscious mind just as I had conjured it in mine. It is a mystical and mind-blowing process which I am thrilled to participate in. Also, my life is the material for my stories and if I don’t tell them no one will.
