George Orwell identified four motives for writing in which he feels exists in every writer to a certain degree. They are sheer egoism, aesthetic enthusiasm, historical impulse, and political purpose. He also said that good prose is like a windowpane and all writers are vain, selfish, and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives there lies a mystery.
Ok! Great song Gary! One other motive for writing? Escaping the madness! Maybe that falls under Egoism. Anyway, glad to hear your still practicing😎g
I love the Sweetwater Wetlands! Thanks for the reminder about this bird lovers paradise.

Keep writing, Gary. I don’t care what your motive is, I enjoyed reading this and look forward to more missives.
