We need to connect. If art is communication, then our work becomes stillborn if no one reads it."</em> I am nodding my head. Such a balance we seek: to glorify Him and yearn for Him....more than "success." I confess that yes, my work may appear painfully and wretchedly stillborn without an appreciative reader...I deeply feel that angst....yet if I can only remember: He reads every word; thus, my words have breath and life.
