Goodreads asked Lyla El-Fayomi:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Lyla El-Fayomi Being a writer is wonderful for many of the same reasons that we love being readers. You explore fantastical or foreign worlds, live the ups and downs of a compelling character, dive into a philosophical question, and learn something new. The only difference is that as a writer, you’re driving the car rather than enjoying the ride from the passenger’s seat. You become the one shaping a personality or concocting the next twist – it’s like being awake while you dream. The possibilities are endless.
