Is there such thing as a writerly vocation?

Don’t miss this one from Angela Townsend:

“I am aware I am insufferable. I am not concerned. God said something once about suffering small mammals. I assume God finds me hilarious. I write about my cats more than any mortal could stomach. I write about cola, pantyhose, and the actual Holy Ghost. I write about Hildegard of Bingen, pretzel nuggets, and the old man at work who signs sticky notes, “your forever friend, Joe.” I write about senators, Shaquille O’Neal, and walruses walrusing mightily upon the shore.“
