Goodreads asked Gerald Elias:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Gerald Elias I spent decades as an orchestral musician in the Boston Symphony and Utah Symphony. As great as the music was, there was always someone (the conductor) telling me how HE wanted things to go. Plus, I had 100 other musicians with whom I had to fit in. Plus, I had management telling me when and where I had to do my job. As a writer, I can write WHAT I want, WHEN I want, and WHERE I want, and no one can tell me otherwise!
