Goodreads asked Bobby Mathews:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Bobby Mathews To "Crush your enemies. See them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women."

Okay, maybe not that. But seriously, to be able to tell the story as best I can, to know in my heart and in my mind and in my soul that I've done good work.

And then to have a reader pick up the story or book and say "This was good. This entertained/touched/affected me in some way."

That's an amazing feeling.
