Goodreads asked N Parris:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

N Parris Being a writer is cool! There's never a wrong answer! As a terrible test taker, I love that! Writing a novel is like piecing together several small puzzles leading to the bigger picture. Each character along the way talks to me and I am a great listener. Creating scenarios is a natural escape from the daily woes, and believe me, writing has saved me thousands from seeing a therapist. Going away in my 'creative' world calms the soul, instills accomplishment and entertains readers.
