You’re a great writer. You’re analytical writer, you don’t need to share a story to explain your idea and your purpose and here lies the two sides of your entry. I think the blog format isn’t the best venue for your writing, perhaps a more art-perspective magazine or academic journal flows better–a la Ways of Reading.

However, you’re right, you did have to try this out and know not your limitations as a writer, but the direction and aim to where your ideas and visions should go.

However, I both agree and disagree with your views of writing being linear. Yes, a writer’s work must lead to something, even when PoMo standards begins to lean towards not leading to anything at all, which in turn is still leading to something, if that makes sense, but as a writer, a devoted and strong creative writer, will find ways to make those words bend, and move in all directions.

I think very few writers have been successful, and commercial the only one that springs to mind that challenges the conventions of what a book should be is–hell, no not Jonathan Safran Foer (I read that Atlantic article on him in Hallettsville)– Irvine Welsh. Very few writers have been successful, but a writer in love with the word–strives can strive to do what you say and how you think.

As a writer and your future husband (woo hoo!), I encourage you to continue writing, continue your art, continue putting your ideas together (not on a blog) but in other places. The way you write so fervently about art, design, and what it means to you as an artist or society needs to have a place to be published.
