I know. For a while now, I've known. I must be a writer. It's not a wish, a dream, an aspiration. It's a need. A feeling that if I don't find a way of putting my thoughts unto paper, they'll claw their way out, and leave me a carcass of miasma. Leaving me to rot. I may not write beautifully. Make grave mistakes. I have no idea if there are any rules, hell I might've broken all of them by now. But I don't care. I don't strive to be great. I won't be any Gaiman, Atwood or Tolkien (Yes those are the first names that popped into my mind). Not taught in public schools, probably never published. But all that doesn't matter to me. Writing is not a choice. It's a necessity.

Man must not live on bread alone...
