Goodreads asked D.E. Osborne:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

D.E. Osborne The best thing about being a writer is exploring my fantasies. Sometimes those explorations have to be cut from the final product because they are too... much.

For instance in Smiley's Run when Jason rescued his ex-partner from the Chinese mafia in Chicago, I originally wrote a scene so gross with missing eyeballs and other abuses that first readers stopped reading the book. Fantasies are wonderful but sometime they go too far.
