Why I Write?

Why I write by Joan Didion was an interesting article. I agree that when you start to think about why you write it has that position that you want to impose yourself to someone. It's interesting to think that it can actually be aggressive writing because your putting your words/thoughts down on paper meaning it can in fact sound harsh or even so subtle that one might not pick up on the crudeness of your own writings. I like How Joan goes on to state in this reading because it seems to be proving that writing in such manner is aggressive. She states her facts sound and clear. To me personally I feel that Joan was more agressive to the self rather than to the reader or person who would interperet the reading. Joan uses many phrases like "I didn't, I won't, I can't," which I think can give the reader that aggressiveness of the writer towards them self.
