Why Is Writing Necessary?

Great question.  Why are writers and their creations necessary?

The answer is simple:  The world needs dreamers.

Dreamers help us look beyond where we are at and ask, "Why not?"  We influence others to attempt that which we have proclaimed and make real that we fantasize.

To prove my point, off to the side is a quick sketch snagged from deviantart.com (one of my favorite haunts).  Below are a few real photos of the Kuratas robot which comes armed with twin Gatling guns and a water-propelled rocket launcher, both of which are harmless, though they may sting.

And thus, a dream is realized.
