I felt a longing when I read the quote. There is the longing that is in the recognition, the ‘must’ write. Then there is the longing to write all the plans and ideas in my head. There is the longing to perfect things I’ve written before. A longing to write more instead of giving into procrastination. A longing to be a ‘proper’ writer who takes it seriously instead of just someone who happens to write odd things. There is also regret for opportunities unseized, guilt for blogs left to die unnoticed, and fear of never doing what I might be able to.
