a found poem - for writers who like definitions

.

To put it another way,

when a competent writer
tells you a story, you know
what happened.

When a good writer 

tells you a story, 

you feel it 

happen to you.

When a great writer

tells you a story, you feel

your life change

because of it.

But let’s not worry
about that one now.)

- John Scalzi
