Desire Matters

An iceberg floating in water looks magnificent because the underwater portion is much bigger than the portion you can see from the surface. We write because we have something to express, but we cannot be a good writer if we do not have strong feeling to express in our mind. In the writing process, cutting unnecessary parts and seeking more simple and direct ways to express makes the writer think about the topic at a deeper level. The writer needs to figure out the core idea and describe it as short as possible. If he has strong desire to express the idea to the audience, the idea tends to be more clear, and the way he describes it becomes more effective.

  1. I agree. Writing is a process that has to occur after something is thought through.
