Power in Authorship

Perhaps my initiating of the question “Where to begin?” is somewhat indicative of my slight anxiety to introductions as I am keenly aware that a first impression is a powerful indicator of how my identity is established with another person. Obviously we are not meeting in a face-to-face way but that does not mean that you, the reader, are still not being introduced to me, the author. There is an imbalance, however, in this interaction as I have the advantage of having much more time to thoroughly consider the choice and positioning of words to influence this encounter and it is exactly this recognition that causes the anxiety that I previously mentioned. There is substantial power in authorship, no? Shouldn’t one be at least a little apprehensive about having power such as that?
