Tough Question

What if you never got paid one worthless cent for your writing? What if you never won any contests, received any awards, or even got a high-five for your work? Would you still write?


Tough questions, but honest ones, the kind that blow away the author-wannabe chaff and leave the real writers lying in a heap on the ground.


Writers write. It's what they do, remuneration or not. Kudos are fantastic, but if writing is in your blood, the lack of which won't stop you from penning story after story, poem after poem, post after post.


So here's my question of the day, and make sure you take some soul-searching moments to think about it before you whip out a yea or nay... 


Are you a writer?
Don't be afraid of the answer. Embrace it.
