Goodreads asked Laura Enright:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Laura Enright I think it's being able to make people think, whether it's fiction or nonfiction (I find the same satisfaction in both). Getting ideas out there. Seeing if you can fire up people's passions and inspire them to be as passionate about what you've written as you were writing it. Writing satisfies and urge to "shout out". Whether the material be uplifting or depressing, it allows the author to inspire. That's very gratifying.
