Goodreads asked Xanxa Symanah:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Xanxa Symanah Escapism. We all have a need within us to escape from the mundane and we all have our own ways of doing this. When I'm working on a writing project, I become absorbed by it. It's very liberating to leave behind the world of grocery shopping, paying bills, doing housework, etc, and leap into the unknown. Also when someone has enjoyed my work, it gives me a great sense of fulfillment and achievement. If I can take someone else out of the mundane for a while, then I know I've succeeded.
