Literature

Why do we make literature? John Fowles once wrote that he did not liked to be labeled as a writer because he did not believe that writing could be a career; it was more like breathing, a vital act which had to be done in order to live. Indeed, creating literature seems to be more of a primal impulse than a hobby or vocation. Everybody feels the need to express his or herself at least once in his or her life. Amen.
