Brooke Bates asked Jennifer E. Smith:

What do you like most about writing?

Jennifer E. Smith Having written! (Just kidding.) (Sort of.)

No, my favorite part is the very beginning of a novel, when there's still so much room to learn about your characters and discover new things about your story. The middle is often tough for me, and the end is satisfying in a completely different way -- but the beginning is all about possibility, and I really enjoy that aspect of the process.

(My favorite part about being an author, though, is hearing from readers. So thanks for the question!)
