This Writing Business -- an unending Odyssey?

Until I stumbled unto this community, I intermittently wondered if indeed this writing business is not just an unending pointless Odyssey. Discovering a community like this assures me not only that there are so many others out there able and willing to sustain the arduous, shifting and often thankless business of writing but also that there may be something, afterall, no matter how indefinable or elusive, that compels and drives dreamers like me to stubbornly get on with it.

If you get to read this you must be one of such. I'd be glad to read from you too.
