What makes a writer?

“I don’t know what makes a writer, but it probably isn’t happiness”

-William Saroyan

 

You’re right.  It’s a whole spectrum of emotions.

How many other writers agree with the above statement? I most certainly do.

A Quote

“I myself feel that our country, for whose Constitution I fought in a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians and body snatchers. Sometimes I wish it had been. What has happened, though, is that it has been taken over by means of the sleaziest, low-comedy, Keystone Cops-style coup d’etat imaginable. And those now in charge of the federal government are upper-crust C-students who know no history or geography, plus not-so-closeted white supremacists, aka ‘Christians,’ and plus, most frighteningly, psychopathic personalities,or ‘PPs.’” – Vonnegut
