But what has the 21st century produced?

The western canon represents the works that stood the test of time.
If you don't write than how can your work stand on the shoulder of giants?
You don't have my permission to use dumb excuses anymore.
Go write.

Because when what was written before is inevitable forgotten and no copy of it is left, something has to replace it.
