Goodreads asked Larry Wood:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Larry Wood It's hard to identify just one thing, because there are a number of things I like about being a writer. I like the ability to more or less set my own hours and to be my own boss, but probably the best thing is simply the satisfaction that comes with producing a book. It has been compared to a woman's bringing a new baby into the world, and that's a pretty good analogy. The book is the author's "baby." I especially like getting feedback from my readers letting me know they enjoyed something I wrote. It's the best kind of validation.
