Why write a personal essay?

OTHERTHANNOW, a blog of personal essays ........
By Charles Kraus


 
 
Why write a personal essay?

           Why write an impersonal essay?

           We who request the reader’s attention --  Attention,  Attention -  claim to have something so important to say, so urgent, so original, remarkable, essential, entertaining, or merely interesting, that folks need to pull themselves away from their own remarkable journeys  to feast on our extraordinary perceptions. 

What follows in my OtherThanNow blog is a bit of meandering well-seasoned with a dash of confusion, spots of compassion, dollops of redundancy, and just a pinch of originality. 

Attention, Attention – may I have your indulgence?   My Day, a new posting, is available below along with previous columns.
