Why did Nathaniel Hawthorne become an author?

‎"I do not want to be a doctor and live by men's diseases; nor a minister to live by their sins; nor a lawyer and live by their quarrels. So I don't see that there is anything left for me but to be an author" 
(Nathaniel Hawthorne, an American writer in his letter to his mother)
