Writers - I want to be one!

Writers, a strange, driven batch of folk—words jammed up in their heads and hearts, tumbling over one another in a rush to emerge onto paper—into the computer. Truly strange folk—ones who go to the dictionary, driven by curiosity, not quite idle, to find a word's root or origin but get distracted on their way to the word by five other words and their origins—by the possibility of using a new word in an old sentence—or an old word in a new way.
Writers look at people and see stories, look at skies and see settings.
