Goodreads asked Samir Satam:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Samir Satam Deep down for me, the best thing about being a poet is spending my time wrestling with words instead of wrestling with conflicting interests of people. Though you have to deal with the later too at some point or another.

However keeping that laziness to deal with people aside, the writing process in itself is so rewarding that it makes up for other practical drawbacks that it brings along.

When you write, you tend to chew on a thought for longer and derive more out of little things in life. It sharpens your abilities to think, introspect and empathize with others. I think those are some of the best things that writing has done for me.
