A writer's plight is common among human kind; the frustration of true communication. Whereas most people will speak and accept reply, the writer, or in truth all artists, will create an entire discussion and wait with bated breath for a response. But when the reader completes their half of the discussion they often have no method of response. The conversation is dead, and the symbol of the writer's idea has no life until one day two readers meet. But then the writer still has no more part in it.
Truth be told, many writers may prefer to avoid this discussion. After all, what kind of replies do they get? Just like any conversation it is important to find the right kind of partner.
But when a writer creates and their discussion finds place in the fertile mind of the right reader every once in a great while the reader and the writer may connect. And then, when the discussion continues, the experience is a kind of nirvana. It is then the ultimate irony that a writer struggles in solitude when their only goal is communication.
