Goodreads asked Paul F. Murray:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Paul F. Murray The characters and the dialogue you create. You can fashion any character, man or woman, young or old, to be any kind of person you want. However, be advised, I have learned that sometimes a character will develop a mind of his or her own, and will take an author in a direction that is different from what was planned.
