Goodreads asked Jerome Jewell:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Jerome Jewell The best thing about being a writer is the opportunity to dig deep into matters of importance and present our thoughts for consideration and criticism by others...AND the fact that we can own this process without interference, if we're lucky.

As an "interrogator" of the world around me (yes, I enjoy asking probing questions), I find solace and stimulation in being able to sit down and take time to gather and assess the responses the world brings me. The responses bring me joy and pain, surprise and boredom, anger and embraces, but all of them open my eyes and enlighten me.
