Why?

My favorite part of this article was the idea that the writer is infiltrating the readers mind, their most private space. Putting ideas into peoples heads, and using abstract concepts to come up with your writings.

Taking abstract thoughts and tieing them to real things is what I usually what I do just the same as our auther this week. I like how she decides to travel around to get inspiration and gather ideas and concepts to help her write. It makes me happy to think that someone has such a passion about them to work for their art.

Using picture to express ones thoughts in the mind is such a great analogy for what actually happens to me when I attempt to write. In the long run though, it makes sense that no one knows what process writers use. However, going to the extent of writing a novel is sort of silly.
