...but the enjoyment is not.
And that (in additon to money, sometimes) is what most artists want.
The painter wants his work to be hung and admired.
The chef wants his work to be tasted and savored.
The musician wants his work to be heard and appreciated.
The writer wants his work to be read - and he hopes the reader (depending on the material) is informed, inspired, or transported to another world that only exists somewhere in the space between the mind of the writer and the mind of tbe reader.
There's nothing wrong with creativity for creativity's sake.
But creativity that finds a home in the heart of the receiver completes the journey, I think.
When Nancy texted me last week, she had read all but four of the currently published books in The Adventures of Cornell Dyer series. I think of all the books in the series, she likes these the best.
She loves the charactrer. She told me some of her own encounters with ghosts.
And she said Cornell Dyer and the Necklace of Forgetfulness is her favorite (so far) because it has a love story in its background.
Ed Calkins shared his thoughts (so far) on Before The Blood last week.
