Quote

If you wish to be a writer, write.

The desire to write grows with writing.

Writing is a way of processing our lives. And it can be a way of healing.

Writing can be an incredible mindfulness practice.

On a more practical level, anyone out there who wants to be a writer should clearly recognize that this is a brutal business, where even incredibly talented people sometimes never make a living. If you want to chase such a dream, please have a Plan B in place.

I try to begin writing as close to a dreamlike state as I can get.

Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.

Writing is a way of drifting within my own mind: almost a solitary process, so to speak.

Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
