Goodreads asked Jess McFarlane:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Jess McFarlane The "zone" you get into while writing, where real-life is consumed completely by the world you're writing about. It sounds morbid, but I love drowning out the banality of normal life with the ones I create (fictional worlds are just more interesting, okay?) The characters, the scenery you can see, plain as day in your mind's eye. I get really attached to my characters, almost form relationships with them. I can hear them talking to one another in my head (sometimes bickering, especially if Blair Ryan is involved). I don't think there really is a "best thing", all of it is great.
