Goodreads asked David J. Forsyth:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

David J. Forsyth
I absolutely enjoy the process of composing sentences. Does that sound weird? I love finding just the right word or phrase, and I thoroughly enjoy researching the subject that I'm writing about.

That being said, I suppose there must be a degree of ego involved. It's nice to know that someone is enjoying what you've written. In fact, I'll likely never forget the first time a reader contacted me to tell me how much he enjoyed my book.
