About This Quote
Until you know who you are you can't write. There are many people that don't know who they are, or who they want to be, but that never holds them back. They keep writing and keep writing and keep writing until they do know who they are and what they want to do. Some people don't even attempt to write because they don't think they have anything worth writing about, but if they actually write and learn what makes them tick and express themselves, then the rest will follow.
