Goodreads asked Gary F. Bengier:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Gary F. Bengier The greatest feeling is to be awakened by the voice of your characters talking to you. Over time they walk out of the mist, becoming more visible, with more details of their personalities clear, until you know their minds. Sometimes the day after you finish a scene the character awakens you to say, “Nah, I wouldn’t do that.” Then you go back to write it the way they tell you to.
