Goodreads asked Erin Le Clerc:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Erin Le Clerc Getting to have fun with words! Words, wordplay - they were my first true loves. I love a beautiful turn of phrase, or a lyrical scene. I love that reading becomes an extension of writing, having always loved books! I also love hearing constructive feedback for my work, so I can make it better (I am a weirdo... I love editing!), and probably the most lovely thing is getting positive feedback for something I've worked really hard for. Hearing "I love your book!" is a privilege I will never take for granted or tire of!

I realise I just used the word "love" about a million times, but that's my core truth: I love storytelling. I love writing. I love articulating an idea. I love translating an idea into a story that can inspire or excite. The best thing about writing is loving writing! :)
