Quote

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

Writing is hard work. Generating stories that catch people's attention and holding it are very difficult.

Writing isn't everyone's favorite thing to do or what their thing is.

Being a writer is not the point. Writing is.

I think it's a very bad idea for someone to start writing for a readership.

If you want to be a writer, you write. Everybody wants to get published. You gotta play your long game.

If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.

And there are people who want to be writers because they love to write. And they care.
