Goodreads asked Chandra Crane:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Chandra Crane The best thing about being a writer is getting to share others' stories—to hear the poetry in their words and transcribe those experiences onto paper.

The best/worst thing about being a writer rather the same thing: tryna pluck the words, phrases, and ideas floating around (and in) my head out of the ether and get them to stay put... in some semblance of order, in a way that they'll communicate the human experience to others.

It's such an honor to help tell the world about unique lives that still have so much in common: diversity and unity. Joy and sorrow. Pain and privilege. Words and actions.
