Goodreads asked Russell Wilks:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Russell Wilks You make your own life as a writer. It can be a hard slog. And it's not the most practical thing in the world from a money-making point of view. BUT! If you're compelled to do it...Against all commonsense and calls for you to be a plumber or a bricklayer...Then do it you must!

What has always floated my boat is that I can create worlds, explore characters lives and ideas that are not necessarily my own.

I create fiction and factual books, info products etc. I also create movie scripts, monologues, audio files and speak at seminars. Overall the same impulse to communicate ideas and emotions powers me on.
