So You Want To Be a Writer? - Charles Bukowski

This quote was added by caitlyns
Don't be like so many writers, don't be like so many thousands of people who call themselves writers. Don't be dull and boring and pretentious, don't be consumed with self-love. The libraries of the world have yawned themselves to sleep over your kind. Don't add to that. Don't do it. Unless it comes out of your soul like a rocket. Unless being still would drive you to madness or suicide or murder, don't do it. Unless the sun inside you is burning your gut, don't do it.
