I tried to find that nice Stirner quote about this but I couldn't.

It happens in stages. I write for myself first, and I then attune it consciously knowing others will read it. That's where the twofold process of writing then rewriting comes in.

Writing first and foremost is an exorcism. The write writes selfishly. All other influence is accidental.

I remember in an interview (I think with the Paris Review), Didion says in praising Henry James' long flowing sentences that she was always very conscious of playing a sort of game against herself or against the work. She says something to the effect that she wishes she could make an open text, where every sentence and every word could be open to any possibility, but that by the time the first sentence is closed you've already boxed yourself in. As opposed to someone like, say, Lyn Hejinian whose My Life is an incredible work of art but almost forbidding in its personal meaning and insularity.

The only reason people write is to have sex.

Because I believe that there is a truth, the perfection of which lies in a perfect depiction, just as the perfection of form is matter and the infinity of matter is form.
Absolute truth isn't really absolute until it can be written down and expressed in things that aren't absolute, in the same way that God expresses his word with particles and materials, and makes consciousness from unconscious matter, and salvation from suffering.
I have no opinion of art that doesn't regard this dynamic, since the prerogative of art is precisely this kind attainment.

Ive always written for an audience just because i GM my own Dungeons and Dragons quests. its sort of like writing a mixed-media series, so all of my work is usually tailored to my audience.

This is a comfy line, senpai.

>>8627111
A little bit of all of those things.

I am writing for an audience, but I am telling them what I want them to know.

Also, nice thinly veiled research thread. What class is this study for?

Not research, just curiosity.
