http://en.wik...Roland Barthes- Death of the Author<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_the_Author<br /><br />You are powerless as a writer. All the power is with the reader. It doesn't matter what you put into your text, the reader will come to it with a totally different set of ideas and change it to fit within their own framework. It doesn't matter if the writer doesn't know where his story is going because the reader will ultimately guide it where they want it to go. <br /><br />I'm of the opinion that the less the writer thinks, the better. Let the language live and don't get in its way. That's why I think all writers would do well to engage with automatic writing, especially in the early stages of their career and projects. <br /><br />"The essential meaning of a work depends on the impressions of the reader, rather than the "passions" or "tastes" of the writer; "a text's unity lies not in its origins," or its creator, "but in its destination," or its audience."Zomzarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727512225540337363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336074732810881061.post-12483403528282085362010-10-01T06:40:42.569-07:002010-10-01T06:40:42.569-07:00(The last question is semi-taken from Syd Field...(The last question is semi-taken from Syd Field's book on Screenwriting, he makes the point there that the writer must make decisions and I quite like that).M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03661493523805404878noreply@blogger.com
