Goodreads asked Catherine Kapphahn:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Catherine Kapphahn What has surprised me the most about writing Immigrant Daughter: Stories You Never Told Me is that when I was struggling with certain things, somehow people magically appeared in my life and helped me get through the rough patches. It was incredible to connect with different people, some who weren't writers, and have them go on the journey with me. We got teary together, we laughed together, we sang together, and I was so moved that they cared so much about my mom's story.

When you are writing every day, you find a a certain flow. It feels like a deep dive into the story, and it seems like nothing else exists. That's when writing suddenly feels like flying.
