Goodreads asked Jaclyn Gilbert:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Jaclyn Gilbert The freedom to follow your imagination into depths you did not know were possible. love the process of becoming obsessed with a particular idea: a question that I have to research (to a point of no return) and interrogate through constant drafting and revising so that the merging of that process/experience can let me see the original idea completely anew. I love that writing is so much about self-discovery; even when you think you are writing about something "other" & unknown, the writing always brings you back to the mystery of yourself and human life as a whole.
