Why do I write?

                  In accordance, and partially in defiance of the Creative Writing Guide, I, Cory Kutschker, must tell you why I write. I write not out of some misplaced curiosity or ill-placed desire for fame. I write because I must. To further elucidate, I must bring to mind what I am. I am an artist, I am a writer, therefore I must write. Creativity always desires an output. Furthermore I write because I am required to do so by God who put this gift in my hands to do something with it. So then It is not so much of why but what I write. Unfortunately the secular lens that Schaefer and Diamond choose quite limits the reasoning behind a writer. I am wholly required to reach out with whatever I am given to show the reality of humanity, that is show them the gospel. This is really the only reason that really matters as anything else is purely vanity. Anybody's wishes for fame should read "Ozy Mandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley and consider that all empires eventually fall and their grandeur forgottten. So then I am sure that if someone is to read this that I have taken the creative writing DL for the betterment of writing structure and possibly to gain another eye that can maybe offer some more objectivity. It seems I nearly forgot to include quite another reason why I write.
               Its quite often that I feel that the genre of the novel and short story are slowly degenerating into something so simple it does not hardly hold any beauty. The language seems quite extinguished of any flare, fragrance and flow. It is quite unfortunate when a writer feels that they need an example of what beauty looks like in form of prose, poetry or fiction, that he the writer must go out of his age and travel backwards to seek out writers who sought to present the written word in such a way that eloquence had meaning, that is a visual and audible aesthetic. So then finally, I am writing not as though I consider myself better than other writers but to display beauty in a written aesthetic. It is the search for what writing used to be. Not only this but writing with substance. Fiction used to be such a potent tool for exploring themes regarding reality. How boring is it to merely write a story, unless you address an issue that is needing to be addressed. These are the grounds for why I must write. I do not carry any illusions that I am some salvific figure for writing but I do seek to make something worth reading.
