Goodreads asked Celeste Barclay:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Celeste Barclay Dear Reader,

I think the best part of being a writer is the freedom it provides me. I tend to be quite Type A in many areas of my life, but writing allows me to explore and release the more creative side. I can escape my responsibilities or the expectations others may have and create a world of my own making. I love the feeling of getting the ideas that are milling around in my head out onto paper, or rather computer screen. I also get quite a lot of satisfaction from seeing it all printed out. Even if it's not bound as a book and is just on regular printer paper, it feels like such an accomplishment to know that all those pages and all those words came from my head.
I also enjoy knowing that other people can find satisfaction from my writing. If it provides entertainment or escape for the reader, then I have been successful.

Thank you for asking.

Celeste
