Under the subheading Did Not Need To Hear, Neil Gaiman is reading Samuel Delaney on writing. He says,

I was just struck by this paragraph from one of the letters -- to someone who wishes he or she was a writer, but probably isn't. And I thought, I should put it up here for all the people who write to me convinced that they would be happy if only they were writers.
