Goodreads asked Alex Austin:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Alex Austin Nothing is more dispiriting that to end a conversation with someone, especially an argument or disagreement, and minutes later to think of the perfect rejoinder to the other's contention. In real life you likely won't ever get the opportunity to use that brilliant come back again, but being a writer allows you to revisit the conversation fictionally and employ that perfect response.
