You must write. There are no other qualifiers.
The caveat is that you must also finish what you write. Otherwise you are a writing hamster, running in circles, and while it may be great fun, you will get no where fast.
Hmm, I do have a treadmill - the human version of a hamster wheel in my opinion. And I do have two projects I'm working on... for the past year now. When I start sprouting fur then I'll know I'm in trouble!
