I can’t imagine a life being anything but a writer

I have worked in a warehouse and I have worked for Walmart and I have worked for Amazon as a delivery driver. All the while I write my book and I dream of sitting on a barstool on a panel of writers at a writer’s conference with a line of fans asking me questions. Half of them are stupid questions and I give sarcastic answers and the other half are sincere questions for which I have no answers. And it scares me so I give sarcastic answers to many of those, too.

I dream of sitting across from John Green and him telling me that my book moved him and I break down crying telling him that his book moved me.

J.K. Rowling was asked by a class of young public school students “what would you be if you couldn’t be a writer” and she answered “depressed”.

Oh god I hope I can be a writer.
