More George Orwell

I love George Orwell...!
Besides the part on his political development, which I have yet to go through, it's uncanny how similar he and I are. I know what he's talking about!

"Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand."

Why I Write (1946)
A Collection of Essays, pp. 309-316.
