Goodreads asked Daniel Cuervonegro:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Daniel Cuervonegro It allows you to relate to the world in more honest and authentic ways. You identify issues that were previously invisible. You become empathetic to others, to history, to experience. You want to feel what others feel and imagine what it may be, and that exercise alone is enough to admit, if only for a second, that others actually do exist. That they are indeed there just like you. Writing also brings you closer to the idea of your own death, which is, of course, a means to value life and lose the fear of the inevitable.
