A mini-hijack: I once was part of a creative writers’ group, and was in charge of screening new members. I found I could tell within a few sentences on the phone, whether they were real writers or not. Just voice, nothing else. It wasn’t about what they said, either. It was kind of eerie after awhile, how accurate I was.
There are a lot more people who think writing would be fun, than there are actual writers, come to find out.
