The craft of writing, one of the most intensive yet delicate of all the arts. Not only can words provide you with a riveting narrative, but they let you see things in the paintings of your mind, hear things, taste, touch. Writing transports you to a world that can be even beyond imagination, worlds so real that we can become lost in them—or even find what we were looking for.
