Why write?

"One of the Composition-specific articles in this genre of radical sixties pedagogy, one which I have never been able to forget since the day I first read it in the dimly-lit stacks of my university's library, was written in 1967 by a young graduate teaching assistant at the University of Oregon, Charles Deemer." (G. Sirc)

Because writing assumes a reader who matters. Because writing assumes community, however small. Even if writing for "a majority of one," writing never happens in a vacuum.
