The Daughter Of The Writer Wrote To Her Father About Writing

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Good writers are essentially muckrakers, 

exposing the scandalous condition
of the human soul.

It is their job to strip veneers

from situations and personalities.

The rest of us accept our fellow beings at face value,

and swallow what we can't accept.

Writers can't: they have to prod, poke,

question, test, doubt, and challenge,

which requires a constant flow

of fresh victims and fresh experience.
