Where Writing Starts: A Discussion of the Writing Process

Melissa: Isn't the hardest thing about writing the start?

Satoru:  Yeah. Most folks are too anxious about initial quality that they can't get their ideas across.

Liao:    I think good writing starts with silence and has ample breathing space . . .

Melissa: Huh? Breathing space?

Liao:    Yeah, breathing space is what brings us back to silence. The purpose of writing 
         is to bring us to silence.

Tim:     I dunno – there are so many different writing genres. . . it seems naive to 
         imagine they all have the same purpose.
