Goodreads asked May Patterson:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

May Patterson Getting a letter, email, or comment from someone who is encouraged, inspired, or helped by my words. This lets me know that I'm not spending my time in vain. It brings me great satisfaction to know that I can write something that can add value to the lives of others and to the world.
