Goodreads asked Tom Chatfield:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Tom Chatfield Having readers. We write in order to be read: to communicate, to test the limits of our communication. It's not necessarily about having as many readers as possible; but being able to find an audience for words and ideas is a huge thrill and opportunity. Without an audience, you're just talking to yourself.
