Goodreads asked Patrick Moore:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Patrick Moore The hours and the pay. Ha, right!

For me, the best thing about being a writer is seeing what was once just an idea in my head take physical form on the page. There's something incredibly satisfying about turning a blank piece of paper or a blank computer screen into a fully realized story or article. It's also fulfilling to know that something I've created may bring enjoyment, entertainment, or knowledge to others. The act of writing itself can also be therapeutic, allowing me to explore my thoughts and emotions in a way that other forms of expression may not.
