Congratulations on ackowledging the truth. Now that you have admitted that you are a writer, you are stuck with it for life - the ups and the downs, the inspiration and the desert. Welcome to the hungry horde!

I've officially become a real writer! Was it by finishing my novel? No. Was it by getting some other smaller work published? No. How then do I know that I've become a writer? Because I'm having a hell of a time writing the last several days and it makes me want to cry. I miss it badly. I miss the sense of accomplishment it gave me every day to bang out several hundred words on a project that I love. I miss my characters and the surprises they pull out of my brain. That's how I know I'm doing what I should be doing. I am a writer. I can call myself one and not feel like a total hipster wannabe. Yes, it sucks right now, but it will get better.
Feel free to send me lots of vegan dark chocolate to make me feel better in the mean time. If you can't find said chocolate then please send me your favorite fantasy works, preferably in paper back, because my arms get tired of holding up those heavy hardcover books. You could also make this point moot by sending me your favorite eBook reader with your entire fantasy library on it. And if you really would love to do all that, but actually have a life of your own to be concerned about I'll take some book recommendations. You can hit up may Writing Page for some ideas on what I like. Now off to try and force out some words...or curl up in a ball in a corner and sing showtunes to myself. Most likely this: Ballad of Serenity- Themesong from Firefly Take my love, take my land *sniffle*
