Why writers write.

[Mermania27]

I have been writing recently after a long hiatus. My stuff is usually personal and I find I write it more for myself than for anyone else. Last week I went back and read "Of Human Bondage", one of my personal favorites, and reread the introduction. I laughed when I saw, "The author writes to disembarrass himself of painful memories; he is not concerned with the reader, but only with his own liberation."

Just wondering if any of the other writers here feel similar.
