  Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.I always   1   such people, but I also explain that there’s a big   2   between“being a writer”and“writing”.

  In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame,   3   the long hours spent alone   4  .“You’ve got to want to write,”I say to them,“not want to be a writer.”

  The   5   is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair.For every writer kissed by   6   there are thousands more whose longing is   7   rewarded.When I   8   a 20-year career in the U.S.Coast Guard to become a freehand writer, I had no prospects(前景)at all.What I   9   was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building.It didn’t   10   matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a(an)  11   manual typewriter and   12   a genuine writer.

  After a year or so,   13  , I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to   14   myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I   15   made enough to eat.But I knew I   16   write.

  I had dreamed about it   17  .I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die   18  “What if?”I would keep putting my dream to the   19   even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the Shadow Land of   20  , and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
