When I was struggling as a freelance writer, this quote was my mantra. Often when I told people I was a writer, their response was, "What have you written?" Later, when I was conducting memoir writing and personal history, I used the quote again to convince my students they were writers.

I like the quote. It's speaks to doing something because you love it, not just because it pays you or gives you recognition.

Word (no pun intended).

Loved the Le Guin quote. Great clip Mihla.

Eric your comment gave me a warm memory of Garth's on a similar theme

It's like people only do things
because they get paid,



and that's just really sad.

that is a beautiful quote- it's so inspiring-- to be true and loyal to yourself & your passions. Great quote to start the day...

lovely!

I'm going to make an image with that, and have it be my desktop background. Inspiring!
