Blog Response to Prompt 4

The writer writes a book based on a story that came to them. Saying that the story is fiction, the author comes across the idea by some exposure or experience. Through this experience, the author then builds upon it. This is where the author adds a bit of make-believe to the original idea. This all happens because of the writer's creative intelligence building upon what is already real. So when the writer puts this story into a book, he is transforming his ideas into a foundation. This is not a foundation for anyone except the reader. Think of it as what the author went through to come up with this story in the first place. They were exposed to something, then built a story upon it. When someone reads through a book, they don't have the authors prior thoughts on the story. The reader ends up interpreting the story in another fashion than the author did. What might have been a joke in the author's eyes can be an insult in the reader's eyes. With this knowledge, the writing process gets much more complicated. How do you keep everyone on the same page? If words gain multiple meanings from person to person, how do you keep it in a generalized area? There are many things about this concept that make writing a bit worrisome. The nature of reading is an imperfect one. There will never be only one meaning to something. A book can be portrayed in many ways because of individuality. This is what makes up reading and writing.
