Quotes
Hospitality has been enshrined by many religions and cultural practices. It comes from the idea of the Greek gods to be able to visit mortals using a human guise -of travellers and foreigners- and be welcome and protected by the hosts. A reader is a god in disguise, and we want to be sure we are honouring them as we would like to be honoured.
Writing is opening our mental/emotional life to others; it is to invite people/readers to see what is in our head. We want readers to feel comfortable, entertained, nurtured, by our writing. We want readers to linger, to be amused, questioned sometimes, identified. It is a very private space between the writer and the reader.
This is why as writers we need to give it all, to be open and true. The reader (as a wise traveller) will distinguish between fake and authentic and will only keep on reading if they feel the writers’ is truthful in her story.
