Goodreads asked Susan Appleyard:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Susan Appleyard The best thing without a doubt is the opportunity to exercise the imagination by trying to put yourself in other people's lives, experience their experiences, think their thoughts, feel what they may have felt. It's a form of escapism, just like reading, only more in depth.
