Goodreads asked R. Kirk White:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

R. Kirk White The best thing about being a writer is you're the boss. If you're are not writing what's in your heart you're in the wrong profession. There's no guarantee you'll be successful, or that others will even get a chance to read what you've read, no matter how good. But if you know it's good, if you know it will touch others who give it a chance, that's enough. I put too much into writing to delude it for commercial considerations. That's what the day job's for.
