A sentence starts like...
A sentence starts like a person lost in the woods looking for directions. You go all different ways to finally find the right direction. Once you finally go the right direction you know where you are going but there are still obstacles getting in your way. You have to find something to lay across the river to cross it and you need to find a detour around the poison ivy. Once you finally reach the end, you look back to a summary of what you've been through which makes your conclusion.

sounds treacherous... is writing potentially dangerous or harmful to the writer?
ReplyDeleteI like this metaphor of being lost in the woods. Starting a sentence presents so many obstacles and decisions. It is interesting how you said your conclusion is the story of your journey through the woods.
