Goodreads asked Chuck Barrett:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Chuck Barrett I assume you mean other than being able to torture and kill people and NOT go to jail! :-) There are actually several great things about being a full-time writer. The first is being able to watch a story unfold as I type and be just as surprised as the reader will be! And, yes, that does happen. All I do is plot the main story line, after that the story just develops on its own. I know where everything will lead and what will happen at the end...how the story gets there is always a mystery.

Another wonderful thing about being a writer is that I can do it from anywhere. I don't have to be in my office at home...I can writer from a coffee shop, while on vacation...pretty much anywhere.
