Goodreads asked Mark R. Anderson:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Mark R. Anderson Communicating an idea to someone else was man's greatest achievement. It started as physical demonstrations, then evolved to cave drawings, to speech, and finally to reading and writing. This is strictly my opinion, but being able to effectively communicate a complex idea or emotion is supremely satisfying. Let's say you had the greatest experience of your life, and you wanted to share that euphoric feeling with someone else who was not there. Using the perfect words and punctuation to convey that emotion is very cool.
