In the past, we had viewed writing as a transcendental experience, of becoming a vessel of divine superfluity streaming through it and emerging out the pen. Kinda like an Orgasm. Working with this premise: we encountered difficulties of revising. If the Creation if the text had come through prophecy, attained during enlightenment, then there was no place for revision. If the semen had already exited, who were we to tinker with it?!

Little do they realize that, by default, they live in a specific place, at a specific time. An obliviousness to the target audience’s culture, is the tragic flaw of any artist; one that has led many-a-bright souls down that sorry road of Cocaine addiction... waking up one morning with a cat licking peanut-butter off their bare testicles as morning traffic honks by, past the gutter you find yourself lying over.
