Max: One Thing I Am Sure Of

One thing I am sure of, writers write. There is no such thing as an aspiring writer. One either writes or one does not. One may aspire to be a published writer. One may aspire to make one's living by writing. But one cannot aspire to write. One either writes or one does not. One either loves it or needs it enough to find the time and make the effort or one does not. One does or one does not. There is no aspire. I have been a writer. I know they ecstasy and frustration that comes from sitting down every day and writing for good of or ill. With rare exception I have given that up in favor of watching TV, or reading, or classwork, or spending time with my loved ones. Often the things I have put before writing are valuable and, it could be argued, necessary for living the sort of life that gives a writer something to write about. Can I find a balance with the few free hours I have every day between living and writing? If I want to be a writer, I will have to.
