Goodreads asked Mark Allen Smith:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Mark Allen Smith There is an addictive freedom that goes with the job - whether you're making a lot of money at it or a struggling writer trying to get in the game. You're alone in the room at that desk with your laptop or pen and paper or typewriter --- and you're free to create whatever and whoever you want.

Like the writer character in my work-in-progress novel says ---

It's the closest man can get to feeling like God.
