You'll lose your reader if you are vague, not clear, and not present. We love details, personal connections, stories.
Natalie GoldbergWe are searching for the core of our lives; our culture intuits that writing, that ancient activity, might be the pathway...Awakening does not feed ego's needs and desires; it pulverizes the self. Our society couldn't knowingly bear such reduction, so we've tricked ourselves into the same path but call it writing.
