Writers' Alchemy: the Clinch & the Shuffle

By Slangston Hughes and Devlon E Waddell

Words only have value when processed. And in the life of any collection of characters that processing happens at least two times; first by the producer, then by he who consumes. There is, whether one chooses to assume it or not, an inherent and abiding responsibility for the writer. For the writer is historian and prophet; healer and distressor; God and man; creator of worlds and likewise responsible for potential destruction, in that the response to the product he has created rests firmly on his shoulders. Also must the consumer take account for the manifestation of what has been absorbed into his psyche...The makings herein contained are the product of two individuals who, in constant states of demolishing and rebuilding of self, have nothing left to lose. Without the luxury of shame, it, writing, has become an act of both survival and revolt. The parallel of purpose enjoyed in such a polarity of approach is not circumstantial. No. It is the direct result of two mission driven individuals in search of his own virtue, stumbling upon the quintessential amalgam of the contradictory.
