Why do you want to be a writer, again?

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus, family Cucurbitaceae) is a vine-like (scrambler and trailer) flowering plant originally from southern Africa. It is a large, sprawling annual plant with coarse, hairy pinnately-lobed leaves and white to yellow flowers. It is grown for its edible fruit, also known as a watermelon, which is a special kind of berry referred to by botanists as a pepo. The fruit has a smooth hard rind, usually green with dark green stripes or yellow spots, and a juicy, sweet interior flesh, usually deep red to pink, but sometimes orange, yellow, or white, with many seeds.

Serious answer: because it is my calling
I am pretty sure that everyone here are well aware of all the disadvantages posed by choosing the path of literature. From extreme financial poverty, to total social seclusion, even up to the high chance of suicide, we heard it all.
No matter how you look at it, in the eyes of someone with a rational judgement, any forms of art is tantamount to living a life of hell but you just know that it is what you want.

I tried to run away from it, I really did. I tried to perish the thoughts by doing some "real" useful stuffs but the more I try to avoid it, the less I am satisfied with myself. Spending a whole day contemplating about a writers block feels alot more valuable than earning money from a job that offers no creative freedom.
Ugly as it was, that's just how passion works. You do not choose to become a writer.

I want to write adventures and have the money and time to have my own adventures. I figured being stuck in an office five days a week might get in the way of that and all I need to write is a pen and paper for notes and a laptop.

Understanding individual perspective, physically human beings are alike, but our perception of reality is not objective. My world might be so different from yours in ways unimaginable. Which is whyoy we read, to understand the journal of another mans soul through his eyes..


The problem is books like t these are rarely written anymore, literature has commercialized and been written based on a pathetic culture of a lost generation.

I've been told I'm talented since I was a kid
I enjoy it - it's a way to clear my mind and consolidate my thoughts/emotions
It's a way to get remembered/influence people after you die (I'm egotistical like that)
I want to do something notable like articulate muh generation, make reading cool, or generally make people care about literature again

For some odd reason I can't stop and if I don't do it over an extended period of time I feel like a pathetic failure. I'm probably mostly driven by the ideal of it, but I do it anyways, and nothing will stop it.
