"If writing is a boxing match between writer and reader, then much of what we have to learn is to deliver the punches with the killer instincts of the pros. We're in the ring, trying to engage the other person, make them play with us, follow us, hit back with their context, their wishes, desires, fears, engage us as we want to engage them. If we bore them, they leave. If we hit too hard and fast, they leave. If we dazzle them with style but forget to deliver the experience, they leave. It's a dance, just one with punches."
