Goodreads asked McKenzie Austin:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

McKenzie Austin I think the best thing about being a writer is exploring psychological traits in people. When you craft your own characters, you're essentially saying, "This person would react this way, because this is what they experienced in their nature/nurture environment".
You really bond with these fictitious people. It's almost as if they're tangible beings, which I also find fascinating, since, essentially, they're different parts of yourself. I guess, what I'm trying to say, is writing is a unique way to get to know yourself better... from your best qualities to your worst.
