Complex relationship between readers and writers
People started to write as soon as they developed their written languages, because they wanted to express their thoughts and share them with others. Today, in order to write well, the writer needs to read a lot. Every writer needs to know the certain kind of audience for his craft. What some people can find interesting may not be for others, because people have different levels of thinking and different interests. Some writers write for general patronage, others for children to appreciate, and there are some writers who write for certain subjects that require deep knowledge, like scientific research, political science, and more complex essays. Writing is a process of putting all thoughts together, whether it is a researched study or just plain comments about certain topics. A writer must be effective in delivering his thoughts, and his audience must appreciate or show a reaction toward his work, if they do that which he is expecting them to do. The writer is the one who communicates his thoughts on some subjects to the group of readers, the audience.
Rita Mae Brown expresses her feelings about books this way, "[...] a book will remain what it has ever been: the most intense, private form of communication between two minds. This special bond invests the act of reading and the act of writing with passion. Inevitably it becomes a love affair or its opposite."(ix) A writer needs to build three kinds of relationships: with himself, with the reader, and the reader's relationship with the writer. The writer needs to know more of himself in order to convey his message to his readers. His self-to-self conversation lets him get the essence of his experience and the things he wants to say. The second is the relationship with the readers. A writer needs to talk with his readers. He needs to feel his readers' presence. He needs to relate with the readers, as he would talk to them personally, see the expressions on their unique behaviour and follow his own imagination through the book .
