In the video above American writer Robert Coover discusses the question "Why Write?" During the process of discussing why he writes literature, Coover explains the very reasons why anyone should write--even if it's an essay or just a blog post. Writing is just one tool for interacting w/ the world at large and the better that tool is sharpened and/or strengthened, the better a result the writer will have in the process. Writing well and literacy have been a big issue in modern times. While one person can only do so much, it's always great to have a helping hand in the process. That is what the Writing Center is all about: helping in a much larger process.
