Writing

Writing conveys more about the writer than about what is written. Writing is the medium through which the writer speaks. Words express thoughts and feelings. So, rather than giving expression to one's thoughts and feelings through the written word, it would be worthwhile to rouse them in the reader. Writing demands a great deal of rigor and discipline from the writer, but expects nothing from the reader. It is in the interest of the writer that the reader reads, at least until the writer has achieved some notoriety or fame. Writer must be terribly serious in writing even when a comedy is attempted. But all writing is intended for a reader. Without a reader, the writing passes into oblivion, like fire in the absence of oxygen. No matter what is written or how much, a page or a book, it is important; for there is no such thing as a casual writer, though there is many a casual reader.
