Goodreads asked E.E. Borton:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

E.E. Borton Freedom. Both creative and physical. Nobody is standing over my shoulder telling me what I can or can’t create. There is no dress code and no time clock where I work. Nobody can fire me or force me to quit. The only people I answer to are my readers.

The flip side of that is, the work has to get done and it has to be good. I have no boss, but if I produce something half-assed, the market will react accordingly. I’m asking people to part with their hard earned-cash for my work. It better be worth reading.
