Blog Entry #8: Read the given story and talk about the benefits and challenges writers face every day.

 

   According to what you express Mike Bunn: “The goal as you read like a writer is to locate what you believe are the most important writerly choices represented in the text—choices as large as the overall structure or as small as a single word used only once—to consider the effect of those choices on potential readers (including yourself)”. That is to say, the fact of choosing a word and understanding why it is within that text can change the perspective of my reading.

   I think one of the toughest challenges is not just reading, it's perceiving, feeling, and being aware of what the writing is telling us. For example, my Spanish teacher at school used to say that there could be a text that tells us: "and the sun rose over the beautiful hills like a hope for a new day," and all we understood was, it's dawning.

   This should be something that writers must face at every moment of their work, attracting an audience that with all the social networks, the use of electronic platforms and a public that only wants information of no more than 3 minutes, the art of creating and writing becomes more complex and that today's readers value what it is like to write a sentence that beautifully describes a sunrise and that the reader does not understand or simply gets bored.
