Goodreads asked Tom Boniface-Webb:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Tom Boniface-Webb No writer likes being a writer. Apart from perhaps being able to say that they're a writer.

It's an old joke, but perhaps still mostly true today. The actual act of writing is solitary, tedious and can take up a lot of time, often with no satisfactory results. But the feeling of capturing a thought or a moment perfectly in prose is unparalleled. I'm not sure I've been able to do it just yet, but here's hoping!
