If someone constantly faces the question of whether or not they really want to write, then I think that writing as a profession isn't suitable for them. If someone claims to be a writer, they ought to not have much question about it -- it's something they should have a passion for and want to do.
"If your writing fails, then that is unequivocally a judgment on you as a human being. You chose to do something you should never have tried to do." There are those writers who fail a lot but who over time become good or even great writers.
Maybe the ancients were right - Speaking > Writing? Scattered to the wind as it passes our lips.
