Why I Write.

In this week's reading, Joan Didion talks about her reasoning behind writing. She states that her inspirations come to her through things that puzzle her. Things that make her think why, who, what, and where. I think this was a very good perspective on writing. It makes it more interesting for the audience and for the writer as well. This style of writing gives people the effect of what she called "white space". White space allows for the audience to draw up there own conclusions and make their own assumptionsof what is going on with the character or the story. This style like she stated is not abstract, it just allows for the audience to draw their own opinions. There are no double meanings when she talked about the lights on the bevatron. She literally just wanted to know if the lights were on in the bevatron. I think its a simpler form of writing but is just as effective.
