Soo true.
As I read the Orwell version of Why I Write, I was conflicted, as I could not tell if he was addressing an audience, me, or if he was merely engaged in a self-reflection. I would argue that it was a little bit of both at times. One moment that I felt that he was truly addressing me, the reader was when he was talking about the intrinsic motivations of becoming a writer. These seemed quite accurate to me as I know that if given a choice topic, I would often choose something historical or political. On the Dideon, the way he crafted his introduction was brilliant to me, using a sensory experience that he then forces on the reader to forge the original syntax that would be used throughout the entire essay.

Didion is a female. What about why YOU write though? That's what I'm interested in.
ReplyDeleteI write because of inspiration, expression, and passion. Writing is something that is easy at times and hard at others. This fact is what intrigues me most about writing.
