Goodreads asked Jean Davis:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Jean Davis Spending time in a world you created with your friends. I mean characters, characters who become your friends, that you love spending time with. Except when you hate them, but you'll make up. Probably. And if not, you can create more friends in different worlds.

The best part about being a writer is getting to embrace that part of you that you may have thought there was something wrong with or that people called you strange or weird for, that part that makes you who you are, embracing all your life experiences and sliding them onto the page in various degrees of subtlety.
