Goodreads asked Isabel Pietri:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Isabel Pietri The best thing about being a writer is the creative process. Creating characters that come alive. Developing characters that elicit emotions in the reader whether they are lovable or detestable. Creating scenes that a reader can mentally visualize and/or feel. If it is a romantic scene, I want the reader to feel the sensations. If writing a fight or flight scene, I want the reader to feel their heart pumping hard. As in real life, in moments of levity the reader should experience a hearty laugh. If I bring a smile or tears to my reader, I feel I have done my job.
