Goodreads asked Debi Matlack:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Debi Matlack Poverty?

In all seriousness, it's having an outlet for feelings, ideas, to explore things you've always wanted to try from the safety of your recliner. It's a way to be all those people that live inside you. Sure,you're the one writing down the words, but they're running the show. It's amazing how these characters become real and important to you,like family. That's sounds pretty schizophrenic, but there it is. Everyone has little fantasies about things they'd like to do, through our characters we get to do those things.
