Goodreads asked Jennifer L. Place:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Jennifer L. Place The best thing about being a writer, which may sound odd, is the control. Every character, every action, is my creation. There are times when writing that a character will wrest the story from my grasp, but ultimately, it is all up to me.

In a life and in a world where so much is out of our control, from traffic to bosses to children to the weather, having one thing where your power is absolute can be very grounding.
