The Best A Writer can do

Monday, September 29th, 2014

Writers don’t often say anything that readers don’t already know, unless it’s a news story. A writer’s greatest pleasure is revealing to people things they knew but did not know they knew or did not realize everyone else knew, too. This produces a warm sense of fellow feeling and is the best a writer can do.
