I want to say this to a guy in my fiction class

worse than coincidence you believe no meaning in actions taken, choices made by your fellow craftsmen. and I think that absurd. for if you are to write and have any reason for it, deserve or demand any audience, each action, each choice is purposeful; for author is creator of the book’s world, indeed the world one enters as reader, whose world, in fact, is changed by this entry, this visit to a created possibility, a reflected truth; and as they say of God, he didn’t make no mistakes. thus your flippancy, your dismissive throw of head and toss of hand, I think as absurd as you apparently think my question.
