Goodreads asked Lucinda Riley:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Lucinda Riley I absolutely love what I do. And having had my time in the wilderness as a writer, I appreciate every single moment of what’s happened now. I work 24/7 and gain enormous satisfaction from putting the stories in my head on paper and seeing them published around the world – even if I get rich I would still always write. Money has never been the driver for me, and I believe it isn’t for most successful people.

I have also been able to travel extensively with my work and it’s taken me to places I probably would never have gone to. Some of these visits have then given me inspiration for future books, and wonderful friends too!
I would not do well in an office, behind a desk and with restricted working hours. I like to be on the move and work when it best suits me. I tend to write in the morning and evening, and over the weekends, which means I have to be strict with myself, but at least I’m my own boss.
