As a writer, one takes a certain perverse pleasure in using words to elicit emotional responses from people. What is writing, after all, but using the printed word to get reactions? When people say to me, “I read such and such of yours and it made me cry,” I feel I’ve done my job… at least, if sorrow was what I was attempting to put across.

Which is probably why I’m having real trouble with this installment of “But I Digress.”
