Supertastic Deb, 
terihall, sent me a link to the above Youtube video from the Publisher's Weekly blog.  I've posted about the whole "What is Art?" thing on my  personal blog, and probably will again, because it's a question that just seems to keep raising more questions.

So, for Topic Discussion this week, I'd like to get your responses to this:  Why do you write?

Are you writing to create a/Art?  What does that mean to you?  Do you write to be read?  To connect?  Or do you write to express yourself; to make your insides real and tangible?
