Why I Write, by Joan Didion, an excerpt

The next two episodes are about the personal essay. Joan Didion and Virginia Woolf both had something to say about the nature of exploding one's life on paper (or screen, as it were). The essay begins around minute 3 and really does have some of the best thoughts on being a writer I've ever read. I love reading why writers write.
