Listen to your author

What is the difference between an accomplished writer and one who is interested in writing? For one, he can say what a novice only thinks he wants to say and two he can convince that it had to be said. He can write what he thinks and just call it a book. Although I would not call it a book in the regular sense, I would like to read what an author like him thinks. Is he the thinker who writes?
Moral of the story. Man has made a big mess of the earth. Not new to our knowledge. But authors writing on an issue in current life makes them so easy to relate to.
