【明報專訊】In a digital age, writing for a newspaper can be a lonely task. You don't readily get "likes", "shares" and occasional encouraging comments from readers. Not even views of disapproval. You leave your articles in the trust of diligent distributors who help get the ideas across to readers, who by chance will notice your column, and by mercy, will stop for a minute to share your thoughts. You build an imaginary relationship with people whom you'll never meet or speak to, even via instant messages.
