Do you ever go back and read your own stories and still feel the same impact as the first time you wrote it?
Is it a thing about the writer to move yourself to laughter or tears? Is that when you know you’ve hit your audience?
I sent a particular story to a friend – I told her I cried while I wrote it. She said she cried while reading it and I called us both hormonal. (Sorry, friend!) But if that same passage keeps moving me to tears, and others as well, perhaps it isn’t just the hormones.
Now how do I keep that up?
