Manifesto

I'm not sure how I want to structure this—or these, I suppose. I want each to approach a particular topic. Not one overall, but one each—a single and unique effect. Who knows? Maybe I'll develop a them or motif subconsciously. I do wish to be somewhat removed from the writings. They certainly won't be anecdotal. At least not directly. I think I will make you—the reader—a character. I might address you from time to time, but I'll try to keep you anonymous: these are not letters to the readers I'm hoping for. These writings will be the things that I know. They aren't true things or things only I have to offer, just what I've learned. I'm not sure who I'm writing for either. It's hard to believe I'm writing for you: you're no one. I guess, if you're reading this, you must be someone. Maybe I give you hope, maybe we're both lost and while you read this, we're lost together. Maybe you're a writer and you appreciate my prose. Maybe you want someone to know without knowing. Maybe it's just for me. "You" could just be a construct by which I am allowed to explore dark, undiscovered rooms—the torch I carry on my travel through these pages. Who knows? Do you?
I've decided to title this piece Manifesto, since it explores how I want this to work. I don't know about an overarching title, though. I guess this could go anywhere. I guess that's why I have to write and not blog: blogs ask for titles.
