IMHO, the writer’s directive is to push as close to transcendence as he/she possibly can through focused obsession or honed awareness (for practicality and health reasons, I prefer awareness to obsession), and litter his/her work with clues as to what he/she has discovered.

Transcendce (being beyond the limits of all possible experience and knowledge) and litter (an untidy accumulation of objects). hmmmmmmm

never thought of the juxtaposition, haha! I guess the direct reference to litter was the clues…which could be argued as pointers to transcendence that need to be updated or revamped as time goes on.

Way too complicated for me. I just write because I have to, I love to and I want to tell stories, whether anyone reads them or not. I just follow my muse and whatever comes out is fine with me. It’s a lot of things but I don’t try to analyze it.
