Goodreads asked Jon Franklin:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Jon Franklin Last year I was lucky enough to attended a talk by Ian McEwan at my local city library here in Malmö, Sweden where I live. I think he summed this question up very nicely. He said that the best thing about being a writer was the sense of inner joy he feels when he closes down his computer for the day, that the words he'd written during that session - whether it was simply one sentence or two or three chapters - were uniquely his and his alone.
