What Is Writing?

"Writing is communication, not self-expression. Nobody in this world wants to read your diary except your mother."
(Richard Peck, writer of young adult fiction)

"Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money.”
(Molière, playwright)

"Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia."
(E.L. Doctorow, novelist)
