How do you feel about writing?
That’s how I feel about writing, too. I write one way or another practically everyday, whether it’s for work, personal pieces, or just writing down my thoughts. I can go days without it; I simply don’t prefer it. Sometimes I can spend the whole day writing as thoughts come to me.
How do you know if you are not a good writer?

Occasional self-doubt is cool and all, but if you think everything you write sucks, well, then it probably does. You can keep writing your garbage, but don’t call yourself a writer.
Do people who don’t write write?
It ought to go without saying, but sometimes folks need a reminder: It doesn’t matter how much material you’ve gathered if you don’t actually sit down and WRITE. Writers write. People who don’t write aren’t writers. It’s that simple.
