Goodreads asked Mason Dakota:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Mason Dakota The freedom of the creative outlet. It allows me to express myself in a unique way, and in some strange way, I learn a lot about myself and about the world I live in as I write about different worlds. I get to experience the depth of both love and hate in humanity and see how those play out in my own life in ways that control and motivate me. In many ways, writing allows me to pour out any hurts, pains, or darkness I feel in myself on to a page and by doing so it is less inclined to control me or how I act toward others. I've had multiple people find it strange that I can write some dark scenes and yet seem like a happy person most of the time, and the reason being is that writing not only inspires my creativity it always allows me to dump out the negative side of me in a way that's coping and unharmful toward others.
