Goodreads asked Andrew Harkless:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Andrew Harkless In order to understand the best things, you need to grasp how isolating, impoverished, and torturing it can be, this beautiful affair, struggle with the art of writing novels. If a writer accepts, even embraces those difficult side effects, the satisfaction of truly creating something selfishly unique and tangible—something to be proud of and leave behind for others to hopefully enjoy— is worth the often accompanying destitution.
