Goodreads asked Chris Pearce:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Chris Pearce I think for me it is the freedom to work away at something you like doing without all the restrictions you would usually get in the workplace. I had a pretty good run with interesting jobs involving a lot of research and writing but I was never much into meetings and wasn’t particularly into the 9 to 5 thing. I prefer to start late and work into the night. I think you can do so much more, and get into a topic in so much more detail, with writing rather than talking about some issue. As an indie author, I also like the freedom of writing what I want to write about, and what I think my readers might want, rather than being restricted to what a literary agent and traditional publisher might want.
