Goodreads asked R. Matthews:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

R. Matthews The best thing about 'writing' is the personal emotions within myself that I get to explore. (As a 'bottler' of emotions, this does wonders for me!) On the flip side of that, as a 'writer' the best thing is reaching others with those emotions. It feels amazing when readers contact me saying that a certain part really touched them on a personal level. That alone makes the headaches of writing worth it! It makes me feel like we all have a lot more in common than we think.
