Goodreads asked Andrew Levkoff:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Andrew Levkoff Money of course! Wait, I thought the question was, "What's the one thing you miss about being a writer?"

I won't kid you, writing is hard. Many days I feel like a boxer who's just too tired to get back in the ring. But every now and then there come these transcendental moments when the characters speak to me, or a plot knot unravels with elegant simplicity, or a thousand perfect words appear on the screen as fast as I can type them. My favorite "best thing" is feeling I ought to stop for a bite of lunch only to find it's 5:30PM. I write for those moments.
