Motive appears to both direct and at times neglect an author's writing. When a reader experiences a text, they view the text from both a direct point of view and an indirect point of view. When a text becomes fully transparent, we see the visible and what appeared to be invisible. There are layers which manifest themselves as a reader infers and explores. When we think about the complexities of the mind of an author when writing, we can't help but consider our own writing.
An example of this can be found on my POETRY page. There's a poem titled "The Parasitic Psychology of Night." This poem represents an interaction in my mind that became a surfaced piece of writing. Some think and ponder before beginning to pen their ideas or imaginations, but other writings are streams of consciousness. This poem resulted from the pondering of a deep rooted emotion. There wasn't a direct plan of representing this moment, because it warranted an impossibility of representation. In this moment, I wrote. The feeling revealed itself later when I wrote my directed emotions in the poem below it, titled, "A Prophetic Eulogy". The first poem attempts to capture a moment of emotional confusion after awaking from an unclear dream. The relevancy of the poem's motive became the search for motive. The next poem gives answers searched for in the first poem when I gained more focus.
As mentioned above, the motive of writing becomes direct but many times neglects itself. There are expereinces of the mind in peoples' writing that captures concepts, emotions and ideas that are beyond the intentions of the text. Interstingly, the mystery of text continues to move cultures and test the way authors write today. The real question though, is, "When we read a text, what is the real intention?" And of course, this causes us to ask, "Are we really, fully declaring our motives when we write?"
