“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” -Edgar Degas
I love the idea that we the reader and I are working together throughout this entire thing. For years, I’ve been quite the solitary person just writing and working on my craft. Universal themes, which make for good writing, require you to constantly bare your soul to yourself. If you are not conscious of yourself, how can you be conscious of anything universal? So writing definitely requires solitude. But then there comes this point in time when you get to share your work with the world. I only understand that on a small level. But I do feel like the readers complete the work of art. They bring it to fruition when the work gives them vision. When their imagination begins to rev up and create a new world in its own way, that is when my work is complete.
