Goodreads asked Dee Shihady:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Dee Shihady Since I started writing because it wasn’t appropriate to share anger and frustration in my world as a child for me writing is about working through my emotions. Being a writer allows me to share the process with others in the same circumstance. There is something so satisfying about connecting with a reader in a way that allows them to also go from point A to point C without all the angst it took me to go through B. It feels like a kind of service in a way to say, “ I get it! What if we can laugh about that together?”
