Writers - Readers : Who should Listen to Whom.

[sarit11]

When the Reader Must Listen to the Writer



A reader must listen to the writer to truly experience the story. Reading requires a temporary surrender of control.

• During the First Read:Readers must quiet their own biases and fully listen to the writer’s voice, world-building, and characters.
  
  
• To Expand Their Mind:If a reader only wants to hear their own thoughts reflected back, they will never learn anything new. Listening to a writer allows a reader to see the world through someone else's eyes.
  
  
• To Respect the Art:A reader does not get to dictate how a story ends. They must trust the artist to lead the way.
