Writers out there: why don’t you write?

I’m curious…and hopefully that doesn’t come off as condescending… (because I relate)

If you have a passion and a pleasurable hobby, what prevents you from pursuing it?

If you know that blogging is therapeutic for you, why don’t you do it more?

I guess, this relates to ALL artists types…musicians, dancers, painters, photographers, etc…

Why do we avoid the very thing we love?

I’m open to answers, this isn’t a rhetorical question! I’m struggling with this right now. I daydream about all the things I want to write about…but then aimless computer games and Internet rabbitholes waste my free time until my eyes and neck are too sore to finally create and contribute something meaningful to this website.

Sometimes I think I don’t write because I think that to be a writer means that I have to be better than what I’m doing to honorably fall into that category. I think that if I don’t have the burning fire inside me to start a new blog post multiple times a day, then I’m not a true writer and I should just step aside for the real ones to get more attention.
