Goodreads asked Don Bendell:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Don Bendell A sense of fulfillment; I believe God put me on this earth to write. I tell young people to find what you are most passionate about, then do it with all your heart. Then, I add the caveat, however if you can figure out a way to make a few bucks doing it that is even better. I strongly believe real, true writers feel strongly compelled to write, not a desire, but a true passion. Each new book I write is akin to giving birth in one sense.
