Hats Off

I was browsing across random blogs at Technocrati and occasionally found this post. The guy here cites Massumi (I believe he knows the author better than I do):

So why not hang up the academic hat of critical self-seriousness, set aside the intemperate arrogance of debunking--and enjoy? If you don't enjoy concepts and writing and don't feel that when you write you are adding something to the world, if only the enjoyment itself, and that by adding that ounce of positive experience to the world you are affirming it, celebrating its potential, tending its growth, in however small a way, however really abstractly--well, just hang it up.


The man is damn right, I must say. This is what the whole approach to real/genuine/sincere writing is all about!

Read along these lines over and over as they are the most adequate, the most accurate definition for writing ever.
