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).
