You either are or ya aren’t by Steven Purkey

So ya wanna be a writer, huh?  Hahahaha.  Good one.  Ya wanna be anything that’s all ya gonna be is a wanna-be.  You either are or you aren’t.  All other efforts are simply forced, never work, don’t make any sense, and are downright pointless.  You create anything ya do it out of necessity, not cuz ya “wanna-be” anything.  You either are or you aren’t.  And if you are then ya can’t help it and it will flow from you effortlessly.  You wanna be a writer?  Don’t.  Give up.  Try something else.  Quit now while yer still young enough to do something different.  Ya don’t do it cuz ya wanna, ya do it cuz ya hafta.  If the muse doesn’t speak to you then ya got nothin’.  Don’t even try.  But if that bitch won’t leave ya alone then ya have no choice.  Ya hafta.  No choice.  You either are or ya aren’t.
