There's a difference between "being a writer" and writing. As a matter of fact, many who wish to be writers are longing f1) for wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at the type-writer.

What I did have was a friend and a small s5) 西子是什么意思storage room in an apartment building. It didn't even m6) matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. Immediately I bought a ud manual typewriter and p7) plunged mylf into writing. After a year or so, however, I still hadn't received a b8) break and began to doubt mylf. Then one day I was o9) offered a job earning $ 6,000 a year. As the dollars were d10) dancing in my head, something c11) cleared my ns. From deep inside a bull-headed resolution w u12) welled up.
