This is an easy one! The best thing about being a writer is the euphoria that comes when I discover someone who has enjoyed my work. I have favorite lines from different reviews, lines that keep me going or that just make me smile. For example, one reviewer gave Mara and Dixon, the main characters in Oathtaker, the "ship" name "Mixon." Every time I think about that, I smile and when the writing gets difficult, those things keep me going.
Another thing I enjoy is the camaraderie with other writers. I have learned so much from them and they have been incredibly encouraging. Perhaps the best lesson another writer shared with me recently was that we each need to tell our own story and in our own way . . .
