Writing

I find great enjoyment in crafting the written word to not only inform readers about a given topic, but also to provide an emotional relationship to it. Choosing the proper words to capture a sentiment can be difficult, but when they are found the synergy they create is undeniable. Criticism brings with it the added difficulty of communicating an idiosyncratic experience to a general audience, which requires that I be confident in my impressions and interpretations. But at the heart of any piece of writing is a genuine appreciation of the subject matter, or else it would not be worth writing about.
