As is my habit, I like reading goodreads site. I saw this quote from one of my favorite books so I thought I would post it. I actually don't remember where it is in the book since I haven't read it in a while but I feel it is appropriate to my mood although I think writing is quite a bit about obsession as well...
“Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life as well. It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy. ...this book...is a permission slip: you can, you should, and if you're brave enough to start, you will. Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any other creative art. The water is free. So drink.
Drink and be filled up.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
