"It was unavoidable, my writing. I feel I had no choice in the matter, no more than I had about an unfortunate bone structure and a healthy head of hair."
Writing is communication at its most basic, and at its highest. Everyone has a need to communicate. I do it best with my fingers, maybe because I don't have to get it right the first time. When I don't write I get emotionally and intellectually constipated, even physically ill.

I do much better writing than speaking too. I think better with my fingers.
