If you’re one of the countless writers who wonder why you keep writing, and you worry that no one will ever buy or read what you write, just remember: You are doing what every writer must do: WRITE and CREATE. “The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.”

I love this quote, and it’s a challenge to every writer. It also reminds us that every writer is a reader, and every reader is a budding writer. “If there’s a book you really want to read but it hasn’t been written yet, you must write it.” —Toni Morrison

Here’s a great definition of “a writer” I found in my online wanderings: “An over-caffeinated masochist with the insane compulsion to bare their soul on paper, cry over their keyboard and bang their head against the literary wall waiting for someone to love their work.” Ha, sounds lke every writer I know, including me!
