Writing is revelation, regardless what’s heard in school.
Songwriters reveal how it does feel to be alone, or in love.
Sportswriters reveal who won, and whether or not it matters.
Opinion writers reveal private perspectives on public issues.
Screenwriters reveal both photogenic and ugly aspects of life.
Shortstory writers reveal all they know about one slice of life.
Novelists reveal all they know about the human race.
Poets reveal all of the above, but in fragments, as a rule.
