The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say
Anais Nin
Being a writer can be the most wonderful thing in the world - you are humming along, creating worlds out of thin air, you've sold something, you feel invincible!

Being a writer can also mean forcing yourself to face the blank screen again, wracking your brain for the right word, sitting alone in front of a desk for hours, feeling worthless, feeling like your writing is trash, being rejected over and over.


There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein.
Walter Wellesley ("Red") Smith
Writing is something you have to do alone, though you can share ideas with others, talk about your work with them, and get opinions on your work once you're done. But you have to sit down by yourself and pull the thoughts out of your mind by yourself. It can be exhilarating; it can be depressing!
