Goodreads asked Art Bell:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Art Bell Spending time with other writers has been my favorite part. I enjoy talking about books, reading, and writing with smart, literate and articulate people, all my writer friends have been a delightful and supportive group. Reading my friends' work, and having them read mine, is one of the ways I learn how to be a better writer. I understand now the appeal of being part of a literary group of friends and artists like the Bloomsbury Group (Virginia Woolf, et al) and the Algonquin Round Table (Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, et al). Because I like humor and reading and writing humorous work I wish I'd been at one of the those Algonquin lunches.
