I do agree that writers must care about each and every word in order to produce their finest work (although I do think there is such a thing as caring too much). But do you believe that caring can actually be felt in the writing itself? It doesn’t matter to me if it can be defined. Is it there at all? I would like to believe that it is—probably because I believe my own writing would have a lot of it—and that it adds value. But I’m kind of a romantic.
