What Is A Writer?

A writer must be
both the best
and the worst
person you know.
A writer exists always in that undefined space
between despair
and hope.
A writer must die each day
only to be reborn at night.
A writer must embrace madness
while rejecting its grasp
on life.
A writer is a saint, a madman, a searcher and a hermit.
A writer has no choice,
but to write.
