literature and Sartre...

"what do we write? for whom do we write? and why do we write in the first place? also, what in the name of God is literature?"
such questions are incessantly popping into my mind since the last few days...and i know whom to blame...reading Sartre does that to me.


...Jean-Paul Sartre raises questions; and i can't but help raise my brow in doubt!

First and foremost I write for me myself - it's a reflection of all things that happen to me.
I need that reflection for a better understanding of the way I am going in my life.
I always try having a overview - and usually it gets clearer and clearer while I am writing...
I appreciate that.

writing is telling what we were meant to tell. What we think we should do, what we hope others will do.

We dont write, we scribble --- We write, oops scribble for others and ourself---We write to wakeup----
Litrature is something literates can explain, as I consider myself illetrate, I have no answers for this question----
