Goodreads asked Ivy Grimes:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Ivy Grimes In a dystopian landscape, I live in an inn/restaurant owned by a grumpy Scroogelike character. Everything is dim and sooty like you’d expect. The owner is late arriving to work one day, and everyone is kind of hoping he’s dead. The person who will inherit the place is particularly hopeful, though they also feel there isn’t much to live for given the dystopian circumstances. I decide to start being nicer to the mean owner, and he starts being nicer to me as well. Somehow, the place gets a little cleaner.
