| Writing and the Enlightened Reader |
| As you use QUICK WRITING PROCESS in your own writing, you will discover almost immediately that you read with an increased awareness of how a memo, essay, or report was put together and how the writer struggled to express meaning clearly and powerfully. For some people, this new perspective has the power of a revelation: taking control over writing enables you to understand the writing of others from the inside out. At times, this new understanding will make you impatient. You sense the writer at work, but you cannot ignore the clear signs of lack of work, the lost opportunities to think through and present an issue. This more realistic view of writing restores authenticity to the process: it enables the reader to see writing as a struggle to communicate rather than as a service or magical talent. While you may be more aware of what does not work in writing, you will also appreciate what does: those qualities of good writing that result from concentration and experience. Readers often view writing through a paradoxical vision. On the one hand, they attribute magical powers to the writers they admire. On the other hand, they cannot imagine the writer consciously struggling to achieve those magical qualities. "She couldn't possibly have meant all that," a reader says, as if the writer were capable only of magic, and not the thought and feeling that the writing inspires in them. This paradoxical combination of awe and lack of insight is a familiar response. We may admire a tennis player, but find it hard to believe that placing a ball down the line just out of reach of an opponent is the instinctive result of daily practice. Such an act seems to be all the more a magical gift because it appears effortless. The idea that such skill results from and depends on conditioning and hours of drills seems farfetched. But to a large extent, talent is consistent preparation. Writing in general, and our own writing in particular, cannot be understood fully until we write several hours a day, for months at a time. Some readers may view the words on the page as if they were placed there through grace or good luck. But if you write with control, you read with a new understanding of how much more the writer had to say, and of how carefully the writer arranged his or her words to represent as much meaning as possible, in as few words as possible. |
