One is sometimes meant to reassure the reader that she's qualified to write about a certain topic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One tends to write beyond what's needed.
The things I write are for those who are willing to accept a new relationship between the reader and the author.
The need to write comes from the need to make sense of one's life and discover one's usefulness.
Writers are the ones who figure out how to put their observations into words.
Writers themselves benefit from all helpful information about their task and methods. Readers, in turn, can have both their understanding and appreciation of literature enhanced by information about the writer's work.
Each reader needs to bring his or her own mind and heart to the text.
You're a reader as well as a writer, so write what you'd want to read.
Writers don't always know what they mean - that's why they write. Their work stands in for them. On the page, the reader meets the authoritative, perfected self; in life, the writer is lumbered with the uncertain, imperfect one.
There are readers who want every point to be clearly and unambiguously set forth, and there are those who want to pry ideas and meanings out for themselves.
My purpose as a writer is to communicate in such a way as to challenge the thinking of readers and touch their hearts.
