Goodreads asked Sharon A. Mitchell:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Sharon A. Mitchell It's fun. When I'm writing and on a roll, the ideas fly faster than my fingers can capture them. Hours will roll by unnoticed as I live inside the characters.

I have a PhD and teach university courses, so I'm used to academic writing. Writing a novel is much more fun, because I get to make things up as I go along.

And, it's such a delight when readers come along with me. Only second to the writing itself is the enjoyment I get from corresponding with readers.
