Putting this here for remembering, but also because it may strike some of you in the same way it struck me. From the film Rebel in the Rye:
A scene with Salinger and his guru. It begins with a back and forth that may be the best explanation of why to write I've ever heard.
Salinger: I'm afraid I've lost my talent.
Guru: Do you write to show off your talent or to express what is in your heart?
