Goodreads asked Teresa Edgerton:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Teresa Edgerton Sharing with other people the thoughts, dreams, fears that you somehow can't share in ordinary conversation. But it's also the worst thing, because it can be terrifying, it makes you so vulnerable.

I write fantasy novels, so one of the best things is being able to visit amazing worlds, worlds of my own creation, worlds of terror, heartbreak, beauty, whimsy.

And then it gives me an excuse to buy and read more and more books, because everything a writer reads is research and can make them a better writer. It's one profession that can combine business with pleasure, and unlike other professions of which that might be said, it's perfectly legal.
