In this book, I take you to a place where every writer ought to go, but so few even know it exists. I am talking about reading aloud what you've written.
The whole point of writing is to motivate a fellow human being, to seize their mind, their brain, their entire being, and suffuse it with your thoughts, your point of view, your unique take on the human condition, all its manifestations, and the improvements you offer.
I am a fanatic about that human voice... at ensuring that it be heard, and that it do its unique work transforming a situation from A to B, and on to C.
What's so important about hearing prose anyway? Won't just reading it do?
What is the reason why people write in the first place? Is it merely to pass a few hours in harmless endeavors? Or are writers a force for human improvement? This book is for the fighters, the dreamers, the visionaries, the people who have a better idea, and will do whatever is necessary to implement it, and achieve the broadest possible change and recognition.
I have selected five articles of my extensive composition, articles which I may have been the only person alive to read aloud, as if before the discerning auditors of the ancient coliseum, when a writer would step forward and assail the audience with the best language on Earth, the written language, brought to life by its creators and its affectionate followers.
I'll be making sundry remarks on the five stories I have chosen for this all important point... the best prose, the best poetry, is read aloud and necessarily involves you, the reader, the performer, the enlightener. Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage". What he meant by that was that each of us have within us the power to transform, to change, not just in picayune ways, but radical, and that this ability does not just exist here, but everywhere you bring it, in whatever format you use.
We have, through our discerning brain, the power... but do we have the will?
I have chosen just five articles out of my vast array, and I intend to give you some worthy instruction about what I've written, what you've read, what it all means, and how you can benefit.
Let us start with a story of fortitude...
