What's the best part of being a writer?
Catherine Linka
I guess that you two must like to write if you're asking this question.
For me--the best part of being a writer is connecting with readers. When a reader sends you an email or comes up to you at an event to tell you that your book touched something inside them--that's the absolute best feeling.
I would love it if my book became a best seller or won an award, but I can't control any of that, so I try to enjoy the journey. Now I'm starting to visit schools and that is incredibly fun and exciting and a little scary, too!
Good luck reaching your dreams, and don't give up!
