Response to Write Till You Drop

When reading Write Till You Drop i was confused many times throughout the passage. Because there were so many references to authors and/or stories that i had no clue about, at some points i felt as if i was outside the "readers circle." Some of the vocabular was also very extreme inside this long story. Many of the sentences and words i had to go back and read a couple of times before i was just a little clear on the purpose of them. It also seems like the passage could have been shorter as if there were to many examples or to much "wordyness" that could have been narrowed down. However, i did get the just of what the writer was trying to communicate. I have had the feeling of this artist. For the most part once i have a topic and sort of an idea what i want to talk about the process isnt that hard, just time consuming. The feeling that the writer was trying to express is the feeling a writer gets when they come to sort of a writers block. When so much information is running through your head but you really dont know what to do with it, or if you should do something with it. Then finally it (idea) comes to you, its like a light shining down on you. This is when you are ready to start writing, you know for the most part what direction you want to take your writing project. I have had this feelingss more than a few times.

Avoid the critique of the structure, etc.. focus more on adding text that contributes to the discussion about writing. What do you think about this and why? What are the applications of your analysis?
