Caring to Share

If I were apathetic, I wouldn’t care about the words I put down on the page. I wouldn’t look for just the right sequence of syllables to convey my point. In fact, if I were apathetic, I wouldn’t care about writing anything or what the reader would or would not get from the experience. But I’m a writer. By definition I cannot be apathetic, because that would violate the writing process and the implicit bond between writer and reader that something of value will be exchanged. May I never fall into such a hopeless state.
