Goodreads asked Crispian Thurlborn:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Crispian Thurlborn The girls. The cars. The money.

Oh, that question was for me? Um. It's probably the uniform. Pyjamas and dressing gown (slippers optional). You don't have to shave.

You also get recognised in public (even more so if you catch the bus whilst wearing the aforementioned uniform) whenever frequenting pubs or the local café by the slight hunch and the tired, sombre, look chiseled into your face.

Of course, best of all is that warm feeling of accomplishment when you get a personal response from a fellow writer or reader who just 'gets' what the hell you were rambling on about in the first place.
