About This Quote

The idea here is that writing is not something you should feel obligated to do. It could lead to your salvation, but it might not. It could be your destiny, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you absolutely need to do it. The best thing you can do is to write whenever you feel inspired.

If you are not, then it is time to go back to the drawing board. Writing should not define you.
