The Paradox Of Writing

The Paradox Of Writing

If we take writing as an act of creation we immediately realize that at least half of it is a conjuring act that manifests things that are mostly immaterial and invisible into things that are material and visible. Writers enter the ethereal domain of thoughts, imaginings and ideas and draw things from it that next appear as squiggles on a page or a screen that can be touched, read and, in the case of a physical book, can even be tasted, provided you are willing to bite one.
