Summary

What I have most wanted to do throughout the past ten years is to make political writing into an art.

In this essay, Orwell describes his personal journey to becoming a writer and offers some important motives for writing.

Moving from his experience of writing his first completed poems to trying his hand at short stories, to finding fame as a fully fledged writer, Orwell discusses the importance of writing, his continuous technique and sets out some important motives for becoming a writer yourself.
