Goodreads asked Jan Hawkins:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Jan Hawkins As you get older, things are easily forgotten. It is the emotion of things that reminds you of the different journeys in life. The best thing about writing is learning to record the event, the emotion and the journey.
Journaling is an important part of writing for me and I have always written about my life journey. This helps me order my life, my feelings and the records are purely for my enjoyment. This is the best thing about being a writer.
The story is my friend, wether it is a fictional world I am creating or a record of a important event in my life.
