Writing: the one thing I’m good at

I was born to do this, and I’m never going to stop.

I just watched a movie, called the Surrounding Game. It is a documentary about Go–one of my other hobbies. And it made me realize that I am a writer.

I have to write, in the same way those players have to play go. I read books every day, in the way they study games every day. It is the focus of any spare energy I have. It is my one driving focus and most honed skill.

That movie, ironically, made me want to quit go and focus all that freed up energy on writing.

It’s what I’m meant to do.
