Goodreads asked Laurel McHargue:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Laurel McHargue The best thing about being a writer is the ability to surprise yourself every time you write. Sometimes it's a perfect sentence. Sometimes it's your character saying something you had not considered. Sometimes it's a friend making a suggestion that explodes your brain and leads you in a direction that makes your story far more engaging. Writing is organic and flexible. It's a lot of work, but it can also be a lot of playing.
