Write Away

"What's the point of writing?" It's /fun/, now bugger off.

I mean. I think everyone should strive for self improvement as a matter of course. And people should accept honest responses to their work. And there's something about "I only want praise!" that rubs of ego-stroking.

I think part of it is the view of art as communication, of writing in particular as a way of speaking to people. Writing seems like you're trying to /say/ something, so why say it no one?

But yeah. There's nothing wrong with mucking around for fun. There are a lot of stories I have written in my head or written down that will never be shared with anyone. Story-spinning is reflex for me, and a relaxation, and a meditation. What I share and what I don't share is my own business.
