Goodreads asked John R. Bancroft:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

John R. Bancroft When I became a business journalist, I found a profession that challenged and interested me. Most of my working life has been in newsletters and tabloid newspapers, and I like the feeling of producing something that people find useful enough that they will pay to get it.
Writing fiction is a different cat. It takes a lot longer to finish a novel, and the rewards are less tangible because it is so difficult to get noticed.
