Goodreads asked Rik Stone:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Rik Stone There isn’t a single ‘Best Thing’ – not for me anyway. As a writer it should be easy to describe, but the joy of holding the first paperback that has arrived for approval goes beyond words. Getting up in the morning and finding you have a new review that extols the virtues of your writing or the thrill of your words has me walking on air for the rest of the day. I was on a cruise last year where someone inquired if I was Rik Stone and then went on to ask for my autograph. It had never happened to me before, or since, but even sitting here now a warm glow burns within from thinking about it. There are a multitude of other things that have brought delight, but everything pales into insignificance when I compare it to the simple pleasure I get from actually writing.
