Definitely. One of the reasons that many people who dream of becoming a 
published writer never do so is that they are more in love with the role of the 
writer than with the idea of writing. They're the sort of people who are always 
talking about what they are going to write, sometimes in painful detail. Yet, 
somehow, they never get around to the actual writing. By contrast, the majority 
of professional writers are much quieter about what they are going to do. They 
might venture a sentence or two about what they're doing, but rarely more. Some 
are even superstitious about talking about it, fearing that they'll put the 
effort into talking about their plans that they should put into executing them.
