Goodreads asked Mae Winn:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Mae Winn We have no control over other people in life. At best, we can control our own responses to others, and set boundaries for how they may or may not treat us. Writing fiction, we have limitless control over any characters we create. We can make massive throngs of characters engage in synchronized nose picking if we want them to, and this is fun :0)
