If you tell me you are a writer, I will believe you easily.
Heck, I'll believe it even if you don't tell me.
Not sure that helps, but in case it does, there it is. And I think your penultimate line in the essay is a telling one, and that it's telling you yes.
I find myself wondering, "Can a Muse be courted?" Or, perhaps, the better question might be "Can writing be courted?" (I find muses distracting, though pleasurable, myself. I write more happily when possessed either by a story, an emotion, or a deadline. The third thing is the most reliable, in my own experience, although I know folks for whom they are not helpful at all.)
In any case, I hope Good finds you and uses you, whether that's by writing or no. (Given the cool kids you're raising, I am pretty sure Good knows your address and uses you regularly to enter the world!)R
