Revisiting
some of my writing has reminded me that I have fond wishes for my writing to
travel and change with each reader.
He said that while he did not agree with my politics - he was a Republican and I most certainly was not – he found my spontaneous and untried analysis was free of the noise of the American Media, and gave him a clearer lines of discussion in the politics of his nation.
I would
like just one line written by me to survive the apocalypse - although I hope it
will be used by the right people!
I would
like at least one of my articles to be so subversive that it is banned by
someone who likes banning stuff - although I have had a very unsatisfactory partial
experience of that before also.
I would
like to have someone disagree with me so violently that they need to write
about it.
Bear with A Head Cold (Reprise) is my most read blog post, and it
collected pretty much the only comment on the entire blog. I am incredibly proud
that it has gone on to be used to debunk the email that inspired my ire and my writing.
It also
attracted one of the only pieces of criticism from a stranger I have been fortunate enough to find. Rather perversely I find his criticism to be very complimentary. I am particularly pleased that he thinks I diagram my sentences, as I had to look up diagramming to work out what he was talking about! He also accuses me of logical dissection, which is very charming of him. I just call it ranting, to be honest.
Much as I
like the Corvette criticism however, my fondest piece of feedback was positive feedback. It is a piece of
art forwarded to me by someone who read my American Politics writing through the Org, the
artistic collective that sprung up around zeFrank’s The Show.

Now that is a beautiful compliment to receive; and it reminds me that providing a little bit of clarity is actually the number one thing that I want the reader to experience from my written opinions.
