Goodreads asked E.B. Barrett:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

E.B. Barrett Selfishly, I love the process of being in the 'zone' where the work seems to come through me rather than from me. Ideas occur to me that have little to do with my personal experience. I know that scientists are understanding The Muse as state in which the left and right brain hemispheres synchronize, similar to meditation. But it's easy to see why the state of deep inspiration has been celebrated as a spiritual and religious phenomenon.
