Ha! Though I would qualify "writing" as "writing for publication." It's accepted that people paint, create new recipes, take photographs without it being for other people. But there's a common assumption that people write to get published. It's okay to write stories and poems just for yourself.

I agree with your point about "writing for publication." People should keep in mind that that's different than having fun writing. Especially with the quotes you have that are like, "we write so the character doesn't suffocate us" (paraphrased!). Though I have to admit, I can be a snoopy person and wouldn't mind reading strangers' journals. What I don't like is when the grammar is horrible, making it difficult to read. Other than that, some people like me would love to read almost anything.
