Why Write?

The most obvious and excellent answer I can think of to this simple question is that we write to communicate. Wether to tell a fact, or a lie, create a story or take a note. All of the things we write are for communication. Whatever we write is always meant to be used. Wether to remind ourselves, or to inform others, our writing tells somone something. I find that writing is often the most simple form of communication because it is literal and everthing about it is pronounced. Writing is how the world saves and trades information with others and with future generations. So if you ask me “Why Write?” I would have to say because without written language we’d never have gotten to this point as a species, let alone as individuals.
