The truth comes out.

merlyn_magick made a comment that brought me, abruptly, to the core of the truth behind a large portion of my LJ, and nearly all of my self-examination in comparison to shadesong. My comment back to him says much of it.

A good portion of what I write here, I write as a slightly self-conscious practice of the craft of writing. I've been addicted to reading, and by extension, writing, as long as I can remember.

This is my test ground. It's not so much about popularity, and it's not, for the writing bit, so much about personality, as it is that I want my writing to be good, and memorable, and no little charismatic. I want to be a powerful writer, and I want to change people.

It's not about changing me to fit a popularity mold, it's about honing my writing so people will want to read it. I have friends enough. I don't want fans. I want readers.

This'll be worth some exploration, later.
