Goodreads asked Isabelle Gecils:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Isabelle Gecils It is the journey of writing the story. You don't ever know where it will take you. As a writer of a memoir, I of course know what the story is from the outset. Yet, even then, there is research to do about people, places and historical context. There is a lot of self-analysis to figure out who you are, and how to tell the story. And then there are the conversations with family, friends and writing groups about the story. You get ideas, you get community, and you get to write. It is at the end, all about the journey.
