Goodreads asked Charles W. McDonald Jr.:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Charles W. McDonald Jr. You're a god in your world. You do whatever you want, but you'll quickly learn you're also a slave to the story. Meaning, if you're a stickler about story integrity like I am, then you'll quickly adapt to the thinking of, 'No, I don't want to include that, because...' That list of reasons will become ever-increasing as the more effort you put into your story commands you to hold integrity of the story as an utmost priority.
