Goodreads asked James Alan Gardner:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

James Alan Gardner Writing has the greatest safety net in the world. Unlike doctors and many others, if I have a bad day no one suffers. I can always rewrite tomorrow...or the next day...or the next.

Also, the worst case scenario for a book is that the reader feels like they wasted a few bucks; but the best case scenario is that someone is permanently changed for the better.
