Goodreads asked Andy Luke:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Andy Luke Prideful narcissism: not great traits they say, but when I write a beautiful piece of prose I can feel myself bathe in its warmth. When I write comedy, I surprise myself and laugh and laugh. It's a joy of the profession to benefit from your own labour in this way. When I create a layered character and bond with them, it's wonderfully surreal. Sometimes I don't even like that piece of my subconscious I've broken off, but I grow towards them. There are some ludicrous scenarios too that create euphoric surrealism. Stories can wrap you up like quantum spaghetti and you ask, how did I get here?
