I have always thought - and I know I will
be shot down for this in some quarters - that writers view the world
differently.
Talking to writers certainly bears that
out, though, the way a word, a phrase, an image, an idea can create a train of
thought that evolves into a story.
I was talking to a writer the other day
and he told how a line he used in a conversation triggered something deep
within and produced a story that did very well in a competition.
Never is the writing process more
pronounced, in my view, than when writers take something ordinary, routine,
part of our daily lives, and present it in a way that is somehow different.
