Goodreads asked Meghann Doyle:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Meghann Doyle I might say it's choosing my own hours, or impending fame, but really it's the psychological benefits. I like to use my work to sort out my feelings. It's often that what I'm subjecting my characters to is an echo of something going on in my own life. Rather than dwelling on my problems, I have the opportunity to play them out, at least in metaphor through my characters. It's not that I often find proper solutions for my issues in this way, but I always feel better about it all.
