I can do it from here to there; I can do it anywhere.
It’s cheap. I don’t have to spend a small fortune on art supplies to create my art. Pen and paper, or a little laptop will do.
Unlike photography, I don’t have to try to capture others when they’re not looking. I can write about them without them even knowing it.
I can brainstorm ideas while in bed (trying to go to sleep).
It’s a great gig for introverts (like me).
I can wash, rinse, repeat. I don’t have to start all over again, like I would, for the most part, with a drawing. I can finish the entire project, and then go back and edit.
It helps me keep my vocabulary, spelling, and grammar skills sharp.
I can write a book one time, and make money off of more than one copy (unlike a painting, that can only be sold once by the painter).
I can kill off people I don’t like.
I can live vicariously through my characters. I can travel the world, work exciting jobs, and yes, assassinate my enemies.
