Goodreads asked Bill Thompson:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Bill Thompson The best thing about being a writer is that you get to do what you love and what you're "born for" inside of you. I was a corporate entrepreneur for years, buying and selling companies, but when I saw my first book in print it was as gratifying as any business deal I ever made . . . and the money I made was roughly zero compared to those deals. I'll never forget the day that box arrived, I opened it and there were my books, published. It was like nothing else. So I keep doing it. Now that it's making me a living it's even more fun!
