Goodreads asked Spencer Steeves:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Spencer Steeves Everyone has stories, that much I know is true. Every person who has a functioning brain and imagination has the ability to come up with stories. As I see it, being a writer means knowing how to take these stories and develop them, foster their growth and then share them with the world. Being a writer allows someone to share their views of the world with others and excersizing your creativity muscles can make you a more well-rounded person overall. I've found that learning how to write conversations has made me somewhat better at conversations in the real world, and sometimes you can get a better feel for the type of person someone is just by having experience in creating several different characters with distinct personalities.
