“I feel like I shouldn’t be reading this,” a friend told me a few years ago after having read a personal story I’d published. “I feel like I shouldn’t know this about you.” I was proud at the time, because that response was exactly what I’d hoped the story would provoke. I didn’t have a particularly developed philosophy about writing, the Internet, or its relationship to confessional intimacy. But I felt by instinct that online writing should reflect the indecency of self-indictment, the disquieting failure of experience to cohere into a poignant anecdote that could become a tool in someone else’s life journey.
