How your average Joe sees writing:
How I see writing:
A picture's worth a thousand words, and yet a thousand words couldn't capture my art form better than this picture. There are limits to what even words can do, but in a way that's what I admire most about them: their flexibility. Words are only so descriptive, leaving a paper-thin sketch to be realized by the reader's imagination, in effect making the reader the second creator of the writer's--my--world. The same writing can become different places to different people, individualizing and personalizing it. But sometimes, when my own vision is realized by another in a tangible form, I want to share that concrete thought in its mature form. Sometimes, I want to be the sole creator; to be selfish.
