Goodreads asked Eric Jay Dolin:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Eric Jay Dolin I love the process of researching a topic, and finding fascinating facts and themes, and weaving them into a story that people don't want to put down. When I get excited about what I am writing, I am fairly confident that readers will be excited too. I also love the freedom of pursuing topics that are of interest to me, things I want to learn about. Of course, I am not totally free to pursue any idea. If I can't get a publisher to give me a contract, then I won't be able to write the book (although I have self-published once, I prefer working with an established publishing house). Finally, I love it when people read something I wrote, and tell me they like it. There is something very elemental and satisfying to get reinforcement that you are writing books people want to read, and which they enjoy.
