Goodreads asked Paityn E. Parque:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Paityn E. Parque My grandfather, who unfortunately passed years back, was a proclaimed author like me. He published a few books traditionally, one about how he met my grandmother back in Vietnam when he was deployed during the Vietnam War.
I think taking after him would have made him so happy. If only he could see me now - I did it.

Fulfilling my dreams of just publishing a book is definitely one of the best things. It doesn't matter how many I sell, I just want people to enjoy what I enjoy. Writing is an outlet to me, not just a blank piece of paper that you have to fill words with. Sometimes, I view writing as a way of self-expression, rather than a novel. Authors spew their mind and hearts into books, and I think that precious perspective of people taking the time to read your masterpiece is the best thing about being a writer. You took all this time to write this novel, and now it's going to get recognized.
