Chore

Writing is my hobby, but it can also be a chore. It requires discipline. Choosing to write, even when it's hard, proves to me that I want to write. No one else is making me do it. I could quit at any time. But I know that if I keep at it, I will get a flash of inspiration or a feeling of accomplishment—one of those moments that make the effort worthwhile. And instead of sweeping with my broom I'll be flying on it.
