we constantly encounter the end of our lived experience. the power that writers wield is the opportunity to address the reader at that point, because, whenever we read, our whole life so far has led up to that point. 

same with writing. as I write this, writing it is the most recent thing I've done. 

I think my writing actually involves more reading than writing /// that's why I write so slowly. I read over what I've written again and again and then respond to it. 

so, the writer writes at an end point, and the reader reads at a different end point, but in some ways, it's the same point - the reader and writer focused on the same thing.
