Goodreads asked Dale Wiley:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Dale Wiley The ability to carry the day through the written word! I love being able to make something appear that means something to people, and knowing that no matter how it goes in "real life," you get the final revision on the printed page.

I've written all kinds of different things, from newspaper articles to books to even a history of The Muny in St. Louis when they turned 75. It's interesting to see when people make a point of reminding you of something you wrote that meant something to them. If you can continue to be vital to someone else's life, long after the fact, that's extraordinary.
