These people can learn something from creative writing courses. For me, writing is part of my existentialist view of life. It's an attempt to make myself wholly authentic. I think the serious writer has to have his view of the purpose of literature absolutely clear. I don't see that you can write seriously without having a philosophy of both life and literature to back you.
Some philosophy of life is the property of all better writers.
It may be an anarchistic one, but it's there, part of the writer, part of his work. Write, if you must, because you feel like writing, never because you feel you ought to write. The notion that a perfect form, like a sort of god, hovers over all of us, which we either cling to or pay lip service to, I dislike intensely. That sort of myth of a perfect form, applicable to all, seems to me one of those things modern art has sunk beyond resurrection. I certainly try to make the form I put things in suit their matter, but I agree totally with E. M. Forster that forcing matter into some supposed general idea of the form best suited to it is wrong.
