Behind the scenes

so i've been watching this back stage documentary about the nutcracker and i find it quite fascinating for example this french guy instructor said

i don't choose my dancers based on the best bodies i choose the dancers with soul... thats what dancing is about

and then one guy dancer said

what makes a dancer is when the audience looks at you and they don't see steps. all they see is the relationship between you and the other dancer. and you take them into your world...

this is what art is all about... its the same way with writing... a good writer gives you more then words... what occurs is a transferrence from the reality of finite words to get into the readers soul... to give the reader a picture of himself... as if turning a page is a glimpsein the mirror... to give them greater self-knowledge to lead them to your world... writing is about a relationship essentially and it gets down to the writer giving her soul to the reader who takes it graspingly gratefully and thinks "i'm not crazy after all" and connects the souls by the bridge of words...
