Goodreads asked Nadya Sayre:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Nadya Sayre The best thing about being a writer is the ability to fully explore worlds and see the characters grow. When I'd daydream The Rebels, or even scenes from The Irregulars (not out yet, don't worry), I was always stuck on a few scenes and it never expanded beyond that.
I had a scene I for The Irregulars that I'd first come up with about 5 years ago now. Before I began writing that book, I reread it and it still fit, still pulled up all the emotions. By the time I reached that scene in the full story, I realized it didn't fit anymore. Not because of the concept, but because of the characters. They'd grown more than I'd known they would and I had to redo the entire thing to suit who they really were. It also meant I had to rethink the ending, because they wouldn't react like I'd originally thought.
So, being able to see my worlds and my characters grow and change, and to be surprised by them is one of the best things about being a writer right now.
The other thing is having people come up to me and request to be a character in a book, and to be killed slowly and gruesomely lol
