I always quote Dorothy Parker: “I hate writing. I love having written.” And so every morning, it’s the first thing I do when I wake up. And every morning, I wake up and think, “Oh, God. I don’t want to write today.” But I just go ahead and do it anyway. And then for the rest of the day, I can think, “Oh, I got that done.” And then I start the battle over again the next morning
Why do I write? Because life makes more sense when I write, because even though it’s a struggle for me every day, at least once a week I’ll be sitting there, and a feeling will wash over me of, “This is what I’m supposed to be doing.” And I feel like I’m incredibly lucky that I get to do it. I feel like I’m incredibly lucky that I found what I’m supposed to do. And just because it’s hard for me doesn’t mean that it’s not what I’m supposed to be doing.
