Goodreads asked Will Sterling:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Will Sterling The surreal achievement of generating an idea entirely in the mind and, step by step, materializing it into physical reality. Just to hold the book in my hands is an astounding accomplishment. In so many ways, it feels quantum and other worldly. If I wish to access this realm and feel this way again, I must keep writing. In this way it is done almost entirely for me, not for others. Its existence is an exciting byproduct of my personal discipline, but were it not for my magic, the spell I cast in doing the work, others would not feel themselves transported. That is rewarding and unlike any other experience on earth.
