Letter: Why I write

Think about the excerpt from Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird  I read to you in class. Then, in a letter of no more than two pages, double-spaced, tell me why you write. As June Jordan says, “You cannot write lies and write good poetry.” But that is true for all writing. So be honest, tell me a bit about what’s underneath your passion, need, desire to write. Also, please tell me what kind of writing you aspire to write.
