George Orwell once wrote an essay entitled "Why I write" - how would you answer that question?

Hello again Sid,
In general a writer was something very far from my life; it seemed such a big and important thing, and I was just a reader. But then I read American Psycho and it was different - it felt like a book I wished I had written myself. And it was with feeling that I started to write short stories.
With the next question...probably the first person that influenced my work was Stephen King, because it was impossible for me to stop reading his book and I began to find the secret behind writing a book so good that it was like eating a very good sandwich for 5 hours!
Why I write I think is too hard a question - I can say only that it is the easiest job because you need only paper and a pen.
