Why do writers write? Because it isn't there.

Summary

This quote suggests that writers write because there is something missing in the world that they feel compelled to create. They have a unique perspective or story that has not yet been told, and through their writing, they can fill the void and contribute something new. The act of writing allows them to express themselves, share their thoughts and emotions, and ultimately, make a meaningful impact on others by offering fresh insights or imaginative worlds that did not exist before.
