Writing is a calling, not a choice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Writing is not a matter of choice. Writers have to write. It is somehow in their temperament, in the blood, in tradition.
One doesn't choose to become a writer. One is just born that way.
Being a writer is not the point. Writing is.
I have very little choice. If I don't write, I feel dreadful. So I write.
All this talk about writing is a little bit moot, because it is almost an unthinking process. It is actually a paradox because you are constantly making choices.
Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
Choosing writing as a career, just by itself, is a measure of not being a calculating person.
You can't sit down and decide what you want to write about.
Being a writer was never a choice, it was an irresistible compulsion.
To me, writing is a considered act. It's something which is a great labor of thought and consideration.
