Goodreads asked Clive Johnson:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Clive Johnson Writing is creative. When I'm writing a story, it's not always clear whether my intended plot lines will all work out the way I'd conceived them; the characters often take on a life of their own and "find" their own direction in the story. This is a very animating and exciting process.

I also enjoy researching the contexts for what I'm writing, often exploring topics that I'm relatively ignorant about.
