Goodreads asked Djuna Shellam:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Djuna Shellam I answer this question at length in my podcast, The Djuna Shellam Podcast, but in essence, as a writer and a storyteller, I can reinvent myself, others, rewrite history, and make the world mine. It doesn't matter how old I am, what possessions I have in this world, where I've been or haven't been, or who loves me, or doesn't love me. No, as a writer, I decide everything.

With that kind of power, who wouldn't want to be a writer ? The bottom line to me is this: I love telling stories that can take readers to another place, another time, and give them characters who affect them in some way. Being a writer allows me to do that.
