Goodreads asked Eleanor Herman:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Eleanor Herman Where do I start? I love creating worlds. What does it look like, smell like, taste like, sound like? I love creating people. I love re-creating historical times and thought processes. Also, I'm not very good at anything but writing. We live in such a techno-centric world--even as a journalist these days, which is what I trained to be--you need to be a computer expert. Half the time when I turn on a lamp the bulb explodes. So it's really good I found something I'm good at that doesn't require a doctorate in computer technology. I can also dance a mean funky chicken but I can't imagine anyone would pay me to do that.
