Goodreads asked Neal Gabler:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Neal Gabler The very best thing is the gratification of the work. There are many other pleasures like pursuing one's interests, meeting interesting people, digging through archives and touching original documents (I held in my hand the letters Walt Disney sent to his brother Roy back in 1928 when he was in New York trying to sell Mickey Mouse cartoons), connecting to readers, organizing one's own time. But crafting an article or a book of which you can be proud is paramount for me.
