A writer is conservative and also progressive, by definition

Being a writer is like Eliot said, an easy commerce of the old and new, the preservation of a culture and also its transformation. Not everyone should presume to embark on such a task, but also you never know where an upstart may arise. Remember what Don Quixote said to Sancho, a knight errant should be well versed in many fields, he should know a little something about everything.
