Goodreads asked Kathleen J. Shields:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Kathleen J. Shields Escaping the real world!

Granted, if you write about history, politics, a biography, your memories or something like that, I guess you can't really escape. But for me - it's about dreaming, imagining, leaving the dull and creating magic and joy. It's something we see so little of these days - so yeah, I'd rather escape it.
