Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter.“You've got to want to write,”I say to them,“not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and pooh-pay affair. Not every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects（前途）at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a great writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story, that hardly made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, “What if?” I would keep putting my dream to the test, even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
