Goodreads asked Arthur D. Hittner:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Arthur D. Hittner Being able to construct an imaginary world peopled by characters who take on a life of their own. I usually write based on a general idea but without an outline or pre-set plot, letting my characters dictate what they choose to do and how they choose to do it. Fortunately, there are more pleasant surprises than dead ends.
