Goodreads asked Anne Padgett:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Anne Padgett Being a writer helps you see purpose in all your experiences and emotions. My daughter who is an enthusiastic young writer had a migraine headache yesterday. She is only 14 and never had one previously. While it was very unpleasant as she started to feel better, she told me about how she was going to write about one of her characters who now has migraines. She knew exactly how to write about it.
