So many people walk through life in a daze, barely paying attention to anyone else, to the news, or even to the most inane television show. They can't even remember what they ate for breakfast, so unobservant are they. They could spend all day outside, but the moment they walk in the door, they can't tell you what the weather is like outside. They didn't notice. It's a writer's job to notice, analyze, assimilate elements, and synthesize them into a meaningful work that comments upon its origins in a unique way. It is a writer's job to SEE the world for all that it is, and to take that sight and put it into a form for others to read, others who may not notice the world to the same profound depth. The difference, sis, is the you are a WRITER. The reason you express this kind of genius is that you keep your mind open.
