Imagine ImaginationImagine a three hundred page book was in author’s mind before it was poured out onto pages of book.
Imagine all those words are words we all know and use but one person takes those words and arranges them in a certain way in mind; person fuses these words to form a story. Amazing isn’t it?
Writers have a different way of seeing world. They can see poetry in someone’s hair and use it as metaphor for life or as an image to communicate a thought about something else that has nothing to do with hair.
But how is writer able to use words in a fascinating new way?
It is natural in way they are, way they think.
The same way language is an innate mechanism to us same way writers have ability to use language in a different sort of way to communicate feelings we all feel.
Although they use language in a different way what they write is about what we all feel; that is why we can relate. The reason why what is written sounds true to life is because it is poured out naturally because it expresses what writer is feeling on inside at moment.
To see beauty in growth of grass is expression of soft and aesthetic side.
But does that mean when stuck in a traffic jam writer will not get impatient, when faced with dishonest persons writer is not repulsed; when faced with sight of a hunk flexing his muscles writer does not think dirty little thoughts?
Absolutely not.
Just because experience of grass growing does not embrace these experiences does not mean these aspects of author are not present. within author.
Words are simply used to express self and are not a substitute for entire self. Ever heard of being dramatic?
In moment of writing of growth of grass writer exists in that world and self that writes story is different from other selves of writer.
Do not think of many selves as being schizophrenic. You are open with close friends, distant with persons you do not like, professional with business associates and intimate with a loved one.
Of course writer’s self is in consonance with other selves- in mode of thinking and being.
It is natural to be one self as naturally as other selves, and writing means being imbued with value and ideology system of total self (that is sum of all other selves).
