Writers on writing


The article by Kent Haruf suggests that it is good to find your place and routine so that you are able to write well. He first states some other writers and what they do such as Maya Angelou would rent a hotel room and be in there for days. However Kent Haruf prefers to be in his basement using a typewriter and writing on yellow paper that you can’t even get anymore. Did I mention he does it all with a blindfold over his eyes so he can’t see. That way he can’t get distracted from the story and keep the creative juices flowing. In order to keep the main idea of the story the same when he is editing he often edits the piece and then never goes back to it. I think that he is writing for anyone that is writing anytime soon because he is to find your way to get the juices flowing and some were that you can work without interruption preferably.
