Goodreads asked D.B. Corey:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

D.B. Corey Being a writer presents me with the chance to step outside everything that’s comfortable about my life; about who I am. Writing does not come easy for me, so I work at it more than the things I already know how to do. Hence, the satisfaction is greater. I liken it to anything I learned to do as a child: whistling or hitting a baseball or riding a two-wheeler. Being able to peddle down the sidewalk on my own without the training wheels and without, of course, falling over, was a huge triumph for me. The elation, the feeling of accomplishment … the rush! With writing, all of these things are new again. I never want to get so comfortable writing novels that I lose those feelings upon completing a breathtaking scene, or a creating an especially unusual character. I hope to enjoy those feelings for a very long time to come.
