Goodreads asked Laura Kitchell:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Laura Kitchell The act of creating generates serotonin, a phenolic amine neurotransmitter which is a powerful vasoconstrictor found in the brain, blood serum, and gastric mucous membrane. The increased presence of serotonin provides a natural high - a feeling of well-being and rightness with the world. I experience this most while writing a first draft, but I also receive benefits during the editing process. (And I don't apologize for being a geek. It runs in the family.)
