Goodreads asked Christopher Armstrong:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Christopher Armstrong The first would be giving back and adding to the "tree of knowledge," where I can share some hard-fought knowledge I've learned in the trenches with others. Instead of teaching a class at university, books are more easily replicated, and thereby much more of an effective way to get the information to reach many more people. In that sense, I hope I can inspire add massive value to lives of many others.

Secondly, as a self-published / independent author, is the freedom and ability to write on subjects I'm passionate about. It maybe a selfish reason, but it forces myself to research and learn more about different subjects and new technologies I'm very curious about.

Writing is an extremely effective way to tighten up your understanding on a certain subject matter, and teaching is the best way to learn!

Third is that the ability to write clearly and cohesively helps in all facets of life — including writing marketing / website materials, text messages, and emails :)
