Goodreads asked L.M. Halloran:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

L.M. Halloran I'm not sure there's a "best" thing about being a writer. The hours are crap, the pay is unreliable, and you're required to put characters you love through the emotional wringer. Then there's the part where you offer your sweet, pink little story to the world. And the world is a cruel, dark place.

In all seriousness, though, writing is like the best deep tissue massage of your life--it hurts like hell, feels incredible at the same time, and you keep coming back for more. Storytelling is a passion that won't quit. If I didn't write down the stories in my head, I'd probably be in a padded room somewhere.
