"You become a writer because you need to become a writer - nothing else"

When Grace Paley says that "You become an author since you need to become a writer - absolutely nothing else," she is highlighting the innate drive and inspiration that writers have. Composing is not a career choice that can be made gently or for external reasons, such as monetary gain or social status. Instead, ending up being an author is substantiated of an intrinsic requirement to express oneself through language, to give implying to experience, and to share something of oneself with the world. Writing is an occupation, an inner calling that can not be ignored, and those who observe its call do so since they merely can not imagine doing anything else.
