Goodreads asked Angela Wren:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Angela Wren I suppose it is the intellectual workout that writing gives my mind. When I'm working out a plot or a plot line I sometimes have to think in obscure ways.
When I'm planning a murder - and because I write mystery I do think and talk about murder a lot - which takes a while, I have to look at the problem from various character's points of view. As a result, I'm often moving from one character's head space to another and back again. That can be quite challenging mentally. And I like to be challenged and to feel that I've got to the solution honestly and through my own effort.
I suppose that, underlying that intellectual workout is the knowledge that, because I'm writer, I can make anything happen in my books. Such a realisation means that I understand how powerful the mind and the imagination can be. And that's awesome!
