Goodreads asked Caitlin O'Connell:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Caitlin O'Connell I love the creative process. I love when a character takes a hold of the pen and writes themselves. It doesn't always happen and granted when it does happen, the character might have to be reigned in here and there, but there is a freedom to writing as an abstract form that is truly transcendent. And because the themes of my writing tend to have an underlying cause, it's all the more rewarding when these themes resonate with an audience. In addition, since my goal is to convey science in an engaging way to the general public, it is all the more rewarding for me as a scientist to broaden my reach.
