Goodreads asked Laura Browning:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Laura Browning Independence of thought. Notice I say of thought, because as of yet, I can't say financial independence, although I'm working in that direction. Having the freedom to write what I want and when I want is amazing. When I worked as a journalist, much of my writing was targeted either by story selection of the day or a specific assignment or project, normally not of my choosing. As a fiction writer, I have the freedom to shape my own stories and experiment more with style.
