Goodreads asked Jo Sparkes:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Jo Sparkes Absolutely when someone says, "Hey, this is pretty good!"

I have a love/hate relationship with writing. There are times when I fight the story, fight the characters. Times when I'd rather do anything else. But nailing it -- finishing it well, seeing the characters succeed (or even fail spectacularly), and knowing it's right -- there is nothing to compare to that. If I get in a good morning writing, the rest of the day is just extra fun.
