About This Quote
The calling of an author is more than just to entertain, but also to share ones experiences with the world. The fact of the matter is that many people do not realize what a wonderful thing it is to be an author. Most people think of authors as people who spend their day sitting in a room with a story in their head and paper or screen in front of them. That’s not true at all.
Authors spend every day writing. They write when they wake up, when they go to bed, and when they are in between. When one spends his or her time in a profession that has never been done before, it’s going to take a lot of time and effort before it can be done correctly.
Plus, one must have many skills before he or she can be an author, such as being able to read and write well, being able to express his or her thoughts without using too much jargon, and being able to work under pressure.
