I really liked reading Just the Language article. I think it's a truly fascinating and yet concise article, full of writing tips and wisdom. Like it was mentioned in the article, writers really don't know where the writings are going to take them when they start writing: "they find it peculiar that for my novels I need to know, and I need to know not just the ending, but every significant event in the main characters’ lives." It is so true, but it is difficult to know all that farther ahead as a writer. Certainly, I've had difficulty in recognizing and being aware of every significant event in the main characters' lives because I'm usually busy constructing the overall plots and characters' personalities.
Wow.. This truly is a conscientious way of writing a story from the beginning: "When I finally write the first sentence, I want to know everything that happens, so that I am not inventing the story as I write it." I think this kind of attitude can truly set the tone of a well-aware and caring writer who takes a deep look into the characters and stories.
I think this is kind of a way of retrospection: "I am not inventing the story as I write it; rather, I am remembering a story that has already happened."This is a working backwards, in my opinion, from the end of the story to where it all began from a viewpoint of bird's eye. The author can see everything in the story in this fascinating way.
"The invention is over by the time I begin." It's an intuitive sense of coming up with a clever way of writing. Intuitively, the writer can imagine the whole story, plot, and characters in their head and start writing all the things they imagined.
"All I want to be thinking of is the language—the sentence I am writing, and the sentence that follows it. Just the language." This is a powerful message and it sends a strong signal that the writer already has full grasp of characters, plots, and stories in their mind.
It was an interesting and helpful article, and I feel my writing will be so much improved after reading this article.
