Goodreads asked Lisa Amowitz:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Lisa Amowitz Having a space where you have total control. Of course, I am only referring to the world you create with your words. Once those words leave your computer they are not yours alone anymore and you've got to allow your work to become a collaboration between you and a whole bunch of other people. But the time that book is forming, when the characters speak to you and the ideas start flying--that is the magic hour.
