All writing is a form of manipulation, of course, but you realize that a plain sentence can actually do so much.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Writers are in control of editing processes - making a sentence better, cutting out a paragraph. But the initial outpouring has very little to do with conscious control or manipulation.
Writing comes more easily if you have something to say.
In many ways, writing is the act of saying 'I,' of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying, 'Listen to me, see it my way, change your mind.' It's an aggressive, even a hostile act.
Writing requires the concentration of the writer, demands that nothing else be done except that.
Writing requires an intense inner focus, and sometimes you need to express outward, physically or socially.
What can't be said can be written. Because writing is a silent act, a labor from the head to the hand.
Writing is sometimes a balancing act between keeping things easily readable and being accurate.
To me, writing is a considered act. It's something which is a great labor of thought and consideration.
Writing in a strict form can surprise you.
Writing is an act of faith, not a trick of grammar.
