The writer is only the scribe (lemmy.world)

The writer is not the god of their world. At least, I am not. The gods write themselves, and I only keep the record.

Perhaps it is not mastery that guides the best writing, but surrender. To listen more than to command. To accept that the story knows more than I do, and that fear of the unknown is part of the work.

Fair enough. Every writer’s relationship to their world is different.
