Goodreads asked S.R. Savell:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

S.R. Savell Nietzsche believed art to be a sort of coping mechanism to deal with the terribleness that is life: in a way, I agree with this. For me, writing is both cathartic and therapeutic-it helps me work through my issues from a safe, empowering place. I feel the very best part of being a writer, however, is the wish fulfillment aspect. In writing, there is so much freedom to explore, to create, to forge connections and breathe life into your wants and dreams. With words, I can make real all I ever wanted for, and that in itself is a special sort of magic.
