Being a writer all boils down to this: It's you, in a chair, staring at a page. And you're either going to stay in that chair until words are written, or you're going to give up and walk away. The great writers have to fight for their words. They have to choose to write, choose words over distractions, and their characters over their friends. Great writers can be lonely, exhausted souls. But through our characters, we live. Alessandra Torre

There are many failures in life. One of the most common is that we do not have a purpose or a goal in life. We just survive and go through the motions until we die. The only way you can be a writer is to write, whether your work is good or bad, whether your friends love it or not, you have to keep going because one day you will be able to write well and you will be able to make money from it.
