Goodreads asked Amy Quick Parrish:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Amy Quick Parrish I've been writing screenplays for a long time. It's amazing to see your characters come to life -- to hear an actor read your lines, to see them standing there in the scenery you wrote, and all of that. But there are so many compromises that have to be made when you make a movie. I have to say, there's nothing more satisfying (and also terrifying) than knowing you can flat out just write something, publish it and then BOOM - people are holding your book in their hands. They're going to be able to read exactly what you wrote (for better or for worse!)
