Goodreads asked C.J. Cannatelli:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

C.J. Cannatelli For this, I'm going to quote my work "A Writer's Burden" from the creepypasta book, "The Creeps."

"Everyone has a secret desire that most people never know how to express. Whether or not they realize it, everyone wants to tell a story. Everyone secretly wishes they could be a writer. To have that control over the lives of others, fictional or not, is something everyone has always dreamed of. To make your perfect couple fall in love and kill off a symbol of your greatest enemy is to truly live through your characters. It's the greatest gift of all, having the ability to express those thoughts on paper."
