Goodreads asked Gill Arbuthnott:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Gill Arbuthnott Apart from the obvious dream-come-true thing of seeing your name on an actual book in an actual bookshop, it's definitely meeting or otherwise communicating with readers. It's wonderful, of course, to hear that someone loved your book, but it's also fantastically useful, although scary, to find out what they didn't like about it. That's what helps you become a better writer next time round.
