Writing is not a job, something you do. It’s something you are, something you can’t not be. Being a writer is not a matter of being published, or wearing sweaters with leather patches on the elbows, or smoking a pipe. It’s about being so bewitched by language that writing seems real, and life by comparison feels like a dream.
