Goodreads asked Stacey Dighton:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Stacey Dighton Being in control of where the story is headed. You can literally write anything you want, when you want and how you want. The whole world that you put down on the page is entirely controlled by you - although, I often get the sense that the story is pulling me along rather than me pushing it onto the keyboard. I always say that it feels like when the tracking on your tyres goes a bit awry and the car starts gradually dragging you right or left - when the story starts to do that my sense it to let it take me where it wants to go. Whenever I've tried to fight it I've been pretty dissatisfied with the results. So, yeah - the creativity. That's the best thing.
