Goodreads asked Robert Enright:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Robert Enright There are two things that I have absolutely loved:

1. Being in control of every aspect of the story. How many times have you read or watched something and thought it should have been done differently? Being able to build characters, their backgrounds and motives, being able to write out fight scenes and dialogue. It's enthralling!

2. Being told by someone that your book has reignited their passion for reading. One of the nicest things I have ever heard.
