It is Always the Writer

The point of view is his, hers, theirs, mine, I.
But it is always the writer.

The story can be a journey to a place seldom seen, vistas or sand.
And it is always the writer.

The questions are answered, the conclusions are drawn, nonsense is sense.
For it is always the writer.

Changes and growth evolve in epic feats and minutia. Characters cry & love & live & die.
And it is always the writer.

Do you know who I am?
In The End, not the story.

Moby Dick In Vain? Of Course Not

My labor may not be in vain. There is now a book about why I should slug along in half-hearted compulsion to read Moby Dick. The book is aptly titled Why Read Moby-Dick? You can read a story and find an interview on NPR today.

The reasons not to read Melville are numerous. Do I need a book explaining why I should continue on in my quest, which may take me several years? Perhaps. I'm still in the game. No applause necessary. I figure it's part of my writerly duty.
