George Orwell gives the following four reasons on why every writer writes.
Sheer Egoism
The great mass of human beings are not acutely selfish. After the age of about thirty they abandon individual ambition – in many cases, indeed, they almost abandon the sense of being individuals at all – and live chiefly for others, or are simply smothered under drudgery.
This is very true for me, when I was in primary school, Chinese and English are my worst subjects. I might just want to show that I can write and I can speak English.
Aesthetic Enthusiasm
Good writings are just beautiful.
Historical Impulse
These notes record my random ideas, for whatever reason, my brain is running most of the time, new ideas constantly pop up in my head, just want to write them down.
Political Purpose
using the word ‘political’ in the widest possible sense. Desire to push the world in a certain direction, to alter other people’s idea of the kind of society that they should strive after. Once again, no book is genuinely free from political bias. The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude. – George Orwell
