How, as an amateur writer, do you know if your writing has merit or if you just aren't talented? Agents and publishers won't say "you shouldn't be a writer," they simply send you a generic rejection form, if anything at all. So how do you know if your writing is worth pursuing or if you should do something else with your free time?
I'm not throwing a pity party here, I just wonder if some of us might consider the very real possibility that we are not meant to be writers.
Maybe every writer has thoughts like this, but certainly there are people who try and try and try and probably should have seen the writing on the wall and given it up. After all, plenty of eager players show up at spring training only to never make the team, you know?
