The Best Writing?

 Truck ruminations:

Good writing? I can define or describe that. That's my day job.  The best writing? That is trickier.

The best writing carries me forward or backward, flood-like, whatever my inclinations.  The best writing surprises me in small or gigantic ways, but always in service to the story, whatever that means.  Awakening curiosity or empathy, perhaps forcing such: well, that's the spine, the spoor, the Cain's mark of the very best writing.

Long commute, you know?
