A quotation from Samuel Johnson

Composition is, for the most part, an effort of slow diligence and steady perseverance, to which the mind is dragged by necessity or resolution, and from which the attention is every moment starting to more delightful amusements.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1754-03-02), The Adventurer, No. 138

“I think of myself as an essayist, producing essays in novel form or novels in essay form: only instead of writing, I film them,”

I have no interest in being a novelist, but essayist, man of letters, raconteur, and novalla-ist?

Yes—I'd cop to those. Novelists are too puffy.
