Writing is universally thought difficult – so much so that those who write well are considered blessed.
Is writing well really a blessing? No – it is a learned trait.
Is it difficult? No – not if you understand the process.
How do you come to understand the process? You do so in steps.
What is the first step? The first step is to answer the question, “What is an idea and how is it developed?”
What does this have to do with writing? Understanding how an idea is developed helps you understand thinking as a logical process. Sentence development mirrors that process, so understanding the one gives you insight into the other.
What is an idea? You might consider a thought a picture – one of the thousands that constantly float in your head – and an idea, on the other hand, the meaning given to a picture. Every idea begins with a noun (the only thing you can see) which is drawn from one of these mental pictures. This noun constitutes your subject. In its raw state, the noun has little meaning or direction. It needs a verb to give it the latter. The noun and the verb, once combined, become a unit of thought: The sentence.
Now that you have a subject and a verb to give it direction, what do you do next?
Next, you either expand the periphery or boundary of the noun with detail to form a more complete picture or you surround the noun with a collage of pictures.
What does this do? This contiguous data around the noun becomes enhancement which expands the meaning of the noun. This development is spatial – remember that word.
How is this expansion relative to the written sentence?
The process of writing a sentence also begins with a noun which is given meaning and direction by a verb. The noun and its verb are found in the pictures in the mind and constitute a written basic sentence. Both are developed by enhancement that reflects the collage of data developed in the mind. In a word, the process of writing mirrors the development of a thought.
Sounds complicated – could you give an example?
Look at the graphic below. In this graphic the noun, “Mary,” is the noun/subject and the verb phrase is, “has diverse interests.” The other pictures that surround the picture of Mary are reflected in the enhancing modules next to them and are assembled into the sentence spatially. Most writing of beginning writers is linear; that is, it proceeds in a continuous straight line once it is begun. Spatial writing, on the other hand, begins with a foundation (the subject and its verb) and is enhanced by the insertion of modules as was done in the graphic below.
Can you say that a sentence is a verbal rendition of a picture originating in the mind?
Yes you can.
Once we understand what thinking is, how do we convert this thinking into a sentence?
With grammar. You convert elements of the mental picture into grammatical structures to be reassembled into a developed sentence. Empower Writer shows you in very easy-to-understand steps how to do this. Because they see immediate progress, students love this method of teaching, making the classes of Professor Garcia (the developer of Empower Writer) among the most popular classes in his school.
Because of the limited space, we have given you only a scintilla of the “story.” To hear the more, go to our website, www.empowerwriter.com, and watch the two videos that describe the Empower Writer method more fully. You will be amazed by the Empower Writer process!! See for yourself why Empower Writer claims to be revolutionary, uniquely logical, and easy to follow.
