Goodreads asked Gervais Hagerty:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Gervais Hagerty All day, I get to play make-believe. I can be people I am not, go on adventures from my desk, and create worlds for my characters. But perhaps the most fun part about being a writer is being surprised by the story. Many times I'll be writing and all of a sudden an unexpected character shows up in the woods or the door to a secret room won't open. Writing novels is an absolute thrill.
