Just because you can hold a pen doesn't mean you're meant to write. Yet somehow now every bored housewife and twelve year old with a keyboard wants to be on the best seller list. How did the art of writing get to this state?
I think it's always been this way. Literate people have always written, the generations have just filtered out the crap. Nobody will remember star wars fan fic in 500 years.
