Goodreads asked Julie Mathison:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Julie Mathison The best thing about being a writer is writing! For me, writing is like reading, only in slow motion. I get to find out what happens, to live the book, as it's arising in my imagination. It's not something I "do" so much as something I participate in. And I never get tired of the wonder I experience by participating in something I don't fully understand. I get to write anywhere and any time -- between diaper changes when my kids were little, or now, in some other country when I'm traveling, or just sitting in front of the fire. All I have to do is open my computer and disappear.
