Goodreads asked Alan Lampe:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Alan Lampe The great joy it will bring you. If you have fun characters, like I do in "Bill's Cajun House of Pleasure," you'll laugh yourself silly with everything they do.

My second book is a medieval fantasy story. I set the towns in different time periods and places of medieval and Renaissance Europe. By doing this, I'm learning a lot about European history. Right now I'm just skimming the top to get the basics, but as I continue to write in this world, I'll dig down and discover some really cool things that happened. I may not use the information in the story, but I can use it in blog posts, or my other social media accounts.

Be open to learning, and an imagination to putting characters in situations where they have to learn the same thing.
