USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Quotes By Chidi Anthony Opara

Chidi,

You say that " A writer cannot be sure of what he/she wrote until the
audience delivers the verdict."

Methinks that you are personalizing "a writer" - that you yourself
are a personification of all writers.
Anyway, I would not know, since I am not yet on ( a writer),although I
have reason to believe that there's some other kind of writer or
writers whowould not give two hoots about the kind of sentence or
sentences that their audience passes as a verdict on his or her or
their writing. A famous quip in point was " publish and be damned"

but that was about a writer of letters and maybe not the kind of
writer that you have in mind?
