Goodreads asked James Lever:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

James Lever I could say, seeing a stack of books on the bookshelf bearing my own name, but this isn't what I'm about. I l love the way you can put something across in so many different ways - and rely on feedback (critique!) to test my instincts. The creative aspect is best - developing new themes; reinventing existing ones; letting my imagination run free. On the other side of the same coin, I find I have become more critical and intolerant of other people's works - the main reason why I started writing in the first place - "I could do better than that!" Based on sales figures, maybe that6 was an idle boast.
