Goodreads asked Thomas Greanias:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Thomas Greanias Greenlight authority. Seriously. I used to help put together some of the big film "slate" deals in Hollywood—20 tentpoles at a time—and it shocked me how few people in town truly had the ability to put a $100M movie into production. Even fewer now. Studio chiefs have to fight tooth and nail to get sole greenlight power from corporate overlords. So the ability to define, develop and produce your own novel—free of studio or network exec notes—is priceless.
