    The piece of work titled “Becoming a Writer”, written by Junot Diaz, is a short story showing the importance of dedication and persistence in order to become a good author.

In his downward spiral into normality, Diaz gives it one more go and decides to find just one good thing in the pages to get him back on track. He separated the 75 pages and “despite every part of him shrieking no no no, he jumped back down the rabbit hole again.” And three years later he could finally look at his pile of pages and say “done.” Diaz concludes his argument in saying that no one is perfect, and can just pick up a pencil and start writing a novel, but you have to work hard and never give…
