Gurus instructing those who are learning to enhance their
public speaking skills have a
repetitive successful theme: talk to your audience.
Help the in the seats to listen – as compared to hear.
Develop a vibrational relationship with them –
A two way transmission of a type of verbal karma.
Written communications are a mirror image.
Whether a James Devita writing for the educated reader:
Judy Cullins instructing those who are attempting to E publish
or Stephen King writing hair raising themes for the middle class.
All have a targeted audience.
Those with an eclectic, diverse audience have a broader challenge.
Question – do they attempt to appeal to everyone by saying
Something – but not really anything, such as is the case with our prodigious politicians?
Everyone hears “something” but few listen and realize the words are as
seeds sown on rocks which bear little grain and thus no results.
Words for words sake – substance subordinated to emotional pep rallies.
In a writer’s sense – there are the writers of pulp mysteries, romance,
and researched historical fiction. E books and soft cover books
sell well to the masses.. one can safely say these publications fulfill a customer need.
Writing is a business.. stocking the shelves with time proven plots and theories.
A capitalistic enterprise well worth the time and effort of authors and merchandisers.
Others entangle their writings in philosophical, historical, cultural topics.
Subjects with a basis in the oracles from Rome, Greece and Shakespeare.
Those who write in the shadows of Frost, Angelo, and Whitman.
Complex, elusive, nerdy, the meanings are illusory, not easily discerned.
Making the simple complex and the complex simple ,exploring the challenge
for universal truths and creating a voice for the yet undiscovered mystics.
Muses attempt to create open space for the reader to develop their own interpretations.
To color the meanings with their own culture, ideas, imagination, and creativity.
Should one size fits all – the muser has been underwhelmed the reader and is unsuccessful.
A well constructed muse leaves the reader with a sense of wonderment: a type of
space travel anxiously/gleefully hurtling to the next unknown planetary destination.
Wonderment generated by new found answers –and even more questions and queries.
Too much complexity leaves the reader with frustration and sometimes disgust.
Too little complexity leaves the reader with inadequacy, unfulfillment, perhaps boredom.
Reflective writing requires inner soul searching and honesty. From a musing standpoint, writing
Is meaningful to the reader when the thoughts expressed are an accurate reflection of the
writer’s core being.
