Do not write for an audience? But when I write, I am the audience that experiences the piece first. So is it worse to write for no one or for myself? If I let the piece spill out and fill the page piece by piece, breaking the peace of emptiness, is that ok? I write for no one, for emptiness, and I insist that this be listed as a fact in the back of my mind. But what if I'm wrong? Have I sinned? Have I denied to follow my belief of what is wrong and right? I'll never know. I write to fill the space. My words race to fill the page. The rage of thoughts builds up fast, ought I let it last inside me, or let my dam overflow with words and onto the paper? Filling up the emptiness, and realize, there is no answer.
Author notes
I wrote this after and apprentice at the school I attend told us not to write to an audience.
