I've heard it said (and I agree) that the thing that makes you a writer is not that you can write, but that you can't not write. So I guess you're stuck being a writer.
I'm frustrated with how slow I write, but other than that I like it okay. I wish there was a speed-writing course I could take so I could pound out wonderful long essays like the writers I admire, including some of my friends. Though brevity can be a virtue, my pieces are often shorter than they really should be because it would take so long to make them the length I want them to be that they'd be stale, or I'd lose the thread or over-edit. Maybe I just need to write more often.

I certainly need to write more often if I'm ever to become the type of writer I'd like to picture myself as. Urk.
When I get the length wrong, I usually go on too long.
