People who write are driven. Otherwise nobody would do it. I mean, I was warned when I began writing that it was very, very hard. I thought it was easy. I thought, well, you don't have to show up anywhere and go to work, and you can make up stories, and so forth. But I was warned, rightly, that it was very, very hard work. All writers who regularly write, I think are driven.

So True. If I don't get some of the writing tasks done from my overly ambitious daily list, I don't sleep well. Writing is hard work. Revision is a constant. Rejections are abundant. I wonder why I do it. Then I get up the next day with renewed enthusiasm and a bit of hope and try again.
