Goodreads asked Ronald E. Yates:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Ronald E. Yates What I love about writing fiction is that it is about as close as a human being can get to being a god. You can create life, mold it, and take it away. You make people do what you want them to do. You are the ultimate puppet master. Of course, with that kind of power comes responsibility. You MUST tell a compelling story and make your characters interesting. Otherwise, your creation falls flat. And that is the danger that comes with your godliness.
