Writer and Reader

thoughts on

I have been thinking on this for awhile. Maybe ever since I started sharing my writing with others, a little before the insanity became so incredibly clear.

I've probably written most of my life. And it quite likely saved me, along with dancing.

I am not a professional writer, although that really has no true bearing on what I'm going to speak to.

If you were reading someone's writing in a published work. I would guess if you found inspiration or connection you might realize that what you are experiencing is a connection to yourself because the writer is sharing a connection with themselves.

My writing is very personal and often raw or deeply felt.

This would, I would expect, forge a connection within you to your deeper self, your deeper feelings.

It doesn't imply a relationship between reader and writer. It does imply a human universal connection or truth.

If I write a piece that is gently erotic. Again, only naturally, it will stir you. Again this does not imply a relationship between reader and writer. Nor does it tell you what the writer might look like. Even though fantasies of are completely natural. But they are not reality based.

A woman does not need to look a certain way to be sensual or sexual. Even though our culture reinforces the message that this is not true. Probably in most directions that you look.

I felt this needed to be said.
