Thanks scott,

That's the best "shit" I have read for along time about this writing "shit"....

re:>>..When you understand that nobody wants to read your shit, your mind becomes powerfully concentrated. You begin to understand that writing/reading is, above all, a transaction. The reader donates his time and attention, which are supremely valuable commodities. In return, you the writer, must give him something worthy of his gift to you...<<

I realized a long time ago, nobody wants to read my "shit" BUT I write it mostly for MYSELF.. Writing concentrates, focuses, organizes, etc. the mind on a particular subject.. And if in this process, I jog the mind of some other poor soul, it's even better.. :)

Thanks again,

m

PS: Plus, of course, I write for the pure enjoyment and sort of to chronicle my life.. I used to write on legal-sized yellow tabs of which I have files stuffed with "shit" (of which I have no idea what I am saving for) but the internet is so much easier.. :)
