Posted on: October 16th, 2007 Politeness and Authority at a Hilltop College in Minnesota

Politeness and Authority at a Hilltop College in Minnesota:

“I can hear them questioning the very nature of their perceptions, doubting the evidence of their senses, distrusting the clarity of their thoughts.

And yet that is the writer’s work — to notice and question the act of noticing, to clarify again and again, to sift one’s perceptions. I’m always struck by how well fitted these young women are to be writers, if only there weren’t also something within them saying, Who cares what you notice? Who authorized you? Don’t you owe someone an apology?

Every young writer, male or female, Minnesotan or otherwise, faces questions like these at first. It’s a delicate thing, coming to the moment when you realize that your perceptions do count and that your writing can encompass them. You begin to understand how quiet, how subtle the writer’s authority really is, how little it has to do with “authority” as we usually use the word.”

From BOTB, some ideas for the writing: Diesel Sniffing - Part Four: The Movies… although the thought of these things really just does make me cry for the decade of my birth.  Keep all your channels open…
