Empathy to the reader, the burden of having to read and in so doing the opportunity to repeat the endeavor endlessly, lends itself to obsession and instability…the reader is required and unkindly directed to assign temper and tone to choice of words with purposeful ambiguity…cursed to forever wonder at the author’s meaning and blanching at the inequities of the narrator.
The author has but two hurdles to overcome before the deed is done…first, to muster the courage to commit intent to paper and secondly, to call upon stores of perseverance to have the audacity to publish and promote said letters. Once committed the precise words fade from memory, the writer’s mind thus purged and assuaged, is clear and all that remains are vague impressions of intent, forgotten reason and rebirth.
