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.
