What is your favorite thing about being a writer?

Ian D. Moore Writing, for me, is more self-therapy than anything else. It is a means to remove my mind from the troubles of this world and immerse and create other worlds far removed. My "normal" life is far, far from my writing life trucking up and down the highways of the UK. It gives me much time to think. When my head becomes so full of thoughts, the writing allows me to vent those thoughts, hopefully into a story others might enjoy. While I never set out to write for monetary gain, the very fact that people have paid their hard-earned cash for my stories AND have enjoyed them to the point of leaving reviews never ceases to amaze me. It is a very humbling experience. The question isn't so much what is my favourite thing, but more what's not to like about the privilege, don't you agree?
