Goodreads asked Michelle L. Levigne:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Michelle L. Levigne I can listen to the voices in my head! There are too many positive things about being a writer to list here. Some can be negatives, if you don't keep them under control. Writing is the best fun you can have, but demands solitude. It's an adventure every time you sit down at the keyboard, but can also be utter frustration and panic and a headache if you have deadlines or you can't figure out what to do next. You'll get weird looks, and can even get in trouble -- such as if you're researching things like bio-warfare or espionage and the government finds out ... they might not believe that it's research for a book! It's utter freedom inside your head, and enslaves you at the same time, because those stories demand to be told and will make you miserable until you obey!
