I'm talking about "writer" as meaning "creator of written fictions." I can see a possible need for scribes, or for technical/legal/etc writers. I'm talking about what I do.
And yes, everybody's primary concern is survival, but we've created a support network in parts of this planet where, for quite large sections of the populace, it isn't their only or constantly predominant concern. And the point I was trying to encapsulate in the statement above is that it's only in that kind of hothouse climate that writers of fictions have any place.
