For a writer who feels their work as a ‘calling’ is a person who approaches language as a medium by which they would make art, as opposed to, say, a communication of ordinary purpose. And it is through the making of art, primarily, that an artist will find meaning in existence, though it is not the only way they might do so, and it is certainly no greater or authentic a way of finding meaning than some other way that might be conceived of, and that has nothing to do with art.
