Goodreads asked Carolyn S. Spiro:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Carolyn S. Spiro Jeeez, the best thing about being a writer, what's the best thing about being alive?
I can write what I want, anywhere, and every day.
I can write while I'm alone, or while talking on the phone.
Writing keeps me company, in my head where none can see,
I can say the things I feel, to the jerks, the chiefs, the heels
By the time it took to write them, I have calmed, don't need to fight them.
When all is done and said, all those stories in my head
need a reader to enjoy them, and I'll gladly write some more of 'em.
