Goodreads asked Sarah Salem:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Sarah Salem To some it could be passion, to others could be fame, or simply making a living.
To me, writing was like a needed therapy.
and an escape ...
for those of you who are wondering--why is that?

Twisted Forms of Love was based on my true story, I had to re-live and confront my past again; during which, I broke down, I was a real mess ... but then, at the end, I had to let it go.


In my second coming up novel, I was able to engage with some of my fiction characters, I loved some, I hated others, I cried along with some, I screamed and fought with others. I imagined that my characters had feelings, I placed myself in their shoes, I gave them names, features, a unique characters ... so the second novel was a needed escape and a breath of fresh air after my first novel.
writers have individual unique reasons to why they write; and what is the best thing for them about being a writer.
