Goodreads asked Francesca Armour-Chelu:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Francesca Armour-Chelu Getting something right after you've struggled to find the way to say it, then someone says 'I loved that bit'. That's a great moment. Writing can feel a bit lonely so it's lovely when you realise you struck a chord with another human being.
It's also fantastic when you finally hold your book and smell it! (I'm certain every new author smells their book; its an OCD they share ) and you see the cover art work and all the work the publishers put in to get it just right and you feel so pleased it all came together. But it's also amazing to think 'I made that world': its characters, language,climate or geography. It's actually quite surreal.
