GUEST ARTICLE
The Permanence of Publishing
By Don Baiocchi
I wonder if all writers are actually control freaks. That's one of
the aspects of writing I enjoy the most: the control. Unlike using
words orally, writing allows the author to rewrite a line as many
times as it takes to make the point. However, it is due to how the
writing caters to the needs of the author that the author can become a
slave to the needs of the writing.
I can recall times when my right hand merely arched between the"Backspace" and arrow keys as I ruminated over the use of "the" as
opposed to "a," "a" as opposed to "the." Nope, wait, let's go back to"the" again. Fine, that's good. Now, if I skip to where I left off I
can…wait, let's go back and try "a" again and this time I'll read it
out loud. Hmmm, maybe I should have my roommate read it first with "the" and then with "a."
This attention to detail is acknowledging the fear inherent in the
possibility of publication. I know that sounds strange. Shouldn't
publication be accompanied by happiness, even celebration? But that's
not always the case for those of us who would be patiently described
as "neurotic."
Sure, writers can control the fate of every little comma and
semicolon, but once it's published, the writer has no choice but to
step back and let his baby go out into the real world. Much in the
same way a parent must learn to let their child go out to survive in
the real world and hope they prepared the child for what they will
face, a writer can only hope that he did everything he could to
service the story and fulfill its potential.
This may be why I have submitted only a select few pieces for
publication. I feel that most of my stories are in various stages of
adolescence. Some are pre-teens, their potential just coming into
awareness, their scattered ideas become tighter, more focused. Some
are full-fledged teenagers, wanting so much to be on their own, to be
left alone, to be treated as the adults they so long to be yet aren't
quite. One or two are close to graduation, and, therefore, close to
possibly moving out and moving on to the real world. A world full of
criticism, both positive and negative, that may crack the protective
bubble I have prepared for them. I can only hope that when the time
comes for me to send my babies out, they will be the full-grown,
fully-developed products I always wanted them to be.
The possibility of publication can influence the writer on a deeper
level as well. In his essay "Why We Do the Things We Do," Larry Smith
refers to "that reward we all know where good writing confirms our
deepest sense of self." This pushes to something deeper than just the
mere satisfaction one feels after writing something that doesn't, you
know, suck. It provokes a sense of accomplishment that one could find
if pursuing almost anything of any worth. I suspect parents feel
something similar when they see their own handiwork in the development
and behavior of their children.
When Smith refers to "our deeper sense of self," he refers to a
psychological consequence of the permanence of writing; if you are
published, there is a chance that if that piece of writing is treated
properly, it could last for a long time, be passed among many people,
and initiate many conversations. That's the deeper sense of self that
can be fulfilled by writing: when the author knows that no one else in
the world could write what he wrote; that it is his singularity as a
person and a writer - his experiences, his perspective, his resources
– that came together to produce a work that no one else could
duplicate short of plagiarism. And if the writing is good, a
reciprocal effort takes place where the writing therefore justifies
his experiences, his perspective, and his resources. The writer and
the writing both serve each other. And maybe, just maybe, the writer
can have a small hand in controlling his future.
