Goodreads asked Judy Kelly:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Judy Kelly The best thing about being a writer is that a writer can first live in another world while creating wonderful stories and characters for readers. Sometimes that world is an enjoyable one and the writer feels good, and other times it is not; it is dark and gloomy and scary. The writer gets to show readers how some people live their lives. Sometimes, the writer enjoys interacting with their characters. So far, I have enjoyed being with Scott, Martin, Olivia and Wesley. I create characters I like and characters I need. I create characters I know people will relate to and understand. Then when the story is finished, the writer can take readers in that world for them to interact with the characters while they move on to other stories.
