Goodreads asked Madeleine E. Robins:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Madeleine E. Robins The license it gives you to find out stuff. You never know when a piece of information is going to come in handy (or at least, that's what I tell myself). So I can pry into medieval plumbing, 17th century underwear, 19th century money... and people may think it's weird, but I know it's all research.
