Goodreads asked Patrick Hodges:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Patrick Hodges Twofold. First off, having a story that you crafted in your own head actually manifested in physical form... well, there's just nothing like it. And having people compliment you on it... well, there's nothing like that either.

Whether you write to amuse, inspire or entertain others or whether writing is just an itch you have to scratch, seeing a project through from start to finish and realizing one's goal of being a writer is probably the best thing.
