The Literary Critic
If a writer's words fly off the page, rearrange themselves into grammatically acceptable sentences and no one reads the words...
I expect that the writer may dip into a phase of sadness. After all the writer thought that the words made sense, conveyed emotion, spoke to readers, and made a difference.
The writer went to the bookstore, stood in front of a shelf of books, and imagined a space opening up.
A sign appeared in the bookstore window-- too many people write books and too few are worth reading. We need readers, not more writers.
The writer went home, put away paper and pen, and began reading. Everyday the reader selects another book and begins reading. Soon the writer will begin writing reviews of grammatically acceptable sentences and pronounce judgement .
