Goodreads asked Shane Kuhn:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Shane Kuhn Writing itself. I was a screenwriter for many years and I HATED working. It was such a drag to sit down and work within a genre of writing that is so utterly constrained by format, industry influence, and verbal composition. What writer would love having to limit all of his or her beautiful, compelling descriptions to a few terse lines? When I wrote my first book, I fell back in love with writing. When I was a kid, I did a lot of journaling and free form verse and it was the best form of expression for me. My novel writing process is very similar so every time I sit down to write now I am excited to see what is going to come rushing out.
