Goodreads asked Paula Brackston:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Paula Brackston Impossible to choose a best! Let me count the ways...

* Spending your working life inhabiting imaginary worlds
* Creating characters who have all the qualities you wish you had yourself
* Getting to do adventurous and brave things... without leaving home
* Daily commute is from kitchen to desk (see above)
* Dreaming up stories and having people read them
* Sharing the experience of those stories with readers
* Having the opportunity to move people through your work
* Earning a living doing something you love
* Being able to put 'writer' in the box when asked for your profession

Really, what's not to like? I am thankful every day that I'm allowed to write and that someone out there wants to read my work.
