I wholeheartedly agree. This quote defines not writing, but art. That is actually the title I've been cuddling to myself: I am an "artist." But it's hard to say to others because it brings the instant image of oil painting, Michelangelo, adorable fat cherubs. The title is Journey of the Eumenides. Duperz linked it above, but here it is so you don't have to search.
http://www.amazon.com/Journey-of-the-Eumenides-ebook/dp/B007... I hesitate to encourage you to buy, since it isn't written with the same voice as my philosophical meandering thoughts above. Same passion yes. But a different read altogether. But judge for yourself. The free sample section is quite long.
Haha you do have a point. Then don't say you're an artist. Tell others you love what you do. There's an incredible Alan Watts quote on the topic: "If you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living. That is, to go on doing things you don't like doing, which is stupid! Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way. And after all, if you do really like what you're doing, it doesn't matter what it is. You can eventually become a master of it." That gets me through when I feel times are rough. 2.99 is a steal. Bought it.
