There is something in writing.
You can tell when someone does it to entertain
or does it not to be bored,
or does it for love.
There is emotion there.
Maybe there is emotion in paint too.
It’s a joy to read someone’s joy
or sadness,
something real.
It’s a frightful bore
to read anything else.
The greats know this and learn to love their craft.
A writer must learn to love themselves
if they want to do it
for a career.
Sure,
there are pretenders,
some even make it big,
but the greats
who become legends
find a quiet room
and type.
God… they love it!
If you’ve met one,
that’s all you need.
Ambition gets in the way
of everything else.
Very insightful!
