"Sacrilegium" is a word in LAW AND LEGAL
Lat. In the civil law. The stealing of sacred things, or things dedi-cated to sacred uses; the taking of things out of a holy place. Calvin
Your audience is your adversary. If you don't have one get one - imagine it. Imagine it now. To whom is your story addressed and why? Audience is always a creative act of the imagination. You can't tell your story effectively and leave it out. It must be alive in you, vividly alive. It is in conflict with everything that is false in what you have written. If it is an audience worthy of your talent and potential, it won't let you slide by the lies, the laziness, the shortcuts. If you don't take audience seriously, you can be sure it will return the favor.
