Of course, you're not always writing for others. I find the whole process of writing is very therapeutic. It helps me to make sense of my life and the world around me.
I'm a firm believer in the power of the written word and think it's what sets us apart from the animal kingdom; our thirst for knowledge and self-improvement, the desire to comprehend the world around us? Books such as Alice Walker's, The Color Purple (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Color-Purple-Alice-Walker/dp/0753818922/sr=1-1/qid=1165910769/ref=sr_1_1/026-6757065-3248457?ie=UTF8&s=books), have changed the world.
Anyone else got thoughts on why they write, or other books that have changed your life/cultural ideas?
