Goodreads asked Matthew Daley:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Matthew Daley One of the best things about being a writer is that you are continuing the storytelling tradition that is as old as spoken language. Stories connect us to our past, present, and future. They serve so many purposes, but most importantly, they make us human. Everyone loves stories and they are our second greatest teachers (after experiences). It's an honor to be able to contribute to our tradition.
