Writing is everywhere. In terms of friendship, space and appropriation kind of all underpin a concept of fieldwork. Lisa Radford rationalises her method of writing as an exercise in mapping. A map which manifests from a central point through perception and subjectivity, unearthing itself to find a befitting point of origin and end, however expedient. Encapsulating the process of how she mentally puts words to a page; drawing upon social connections as well as the frequent conversations between students, Radford outlines a method both highly resourceful and subjective while placating her own conflicts upon the issue, avoiding the grasp of authorship and experiencing the writing as a compelling structure rather than direct manifestation.
Explaining that she is constantly writing, Radford describes her own writing process as something she undertakes in response to someone or something. Clearly outlining the notion of an encounter as that which allows her writing to occur, Radford establishes herself as a person who is …show more content…

Radford’s writing resembles more a mercurial performance than a sequential composition, one that juxtaposes and exposing relationships between vastly different disciplines.
Radford gives credence to an essay written by Jan Verwoerk titled ‘All writers are liars’ and by not distinguishing her own testimony of writing itself deprives one of forming opinion that would categorise her work and the processes she uses. In Verwoerks essay he states “all writers are liars, they won’t lie to your face. Best reflected in the above essay by Verwoerk, Radford incorporates her surroundings inter her story emphasizing the leanings that underpin her body of writing and

  • "Why I Write" by George Orwell and Joan Didion

    826 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is fascinating to me to read the articles “Why I Write,” by George Orwell and Joan Didion. These authors touch on so many different topics for their reasons to writing. Their ideals are very much different, but their end results are the same, words on paper for people to read. Both authors made very descriptive points to how their minds wander on and off their writings while trying to write. They both often were writing about what they didn’t want to write about before they actually wrote what they wanted too. In George Orwell’s case, he wrote many things when he was young the he himself would laugh at today, or felt was unprofessional the but if he hadn’t done so he would not of been the writer he became. In Joan Didion’s case she would often be daydreaming about subjects that had nothing to do with what she intended on writing. Her style of writing in this article is actually more interesting because of this. Her mind wandering all over on many different subjects to how her writing came to her is very interesting for a person like me to read. My mind is also very restless on many different unneeded topics before I actually figure some sort of combined way to put words on to paper for people to read. Each author put down in their articles many ways of how there minds work while figuring out what they are going to write about. Both of the authors ended ...

  • Years in the Life of Francine Prose

    771 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is common to hear that writers usually have a knack for reading, especially from a young age. Francine Prose is no different from them. This lifelong love of reading has contributed to Francine Prose's need to write (Bolick). Francine Prose has written just about thirty books and other literary works, yet she is by no means done yet (Hodara). The childhood of Francine Prose has greatly contributed to her success as a writer, not just from her love of reading, but by the gift of using her greatest sense; Her hearing. (Bolick; Carrigan).

  • How Margaret Fuller and Fanny Fern Used Writing as a Weapon For Women's Rights

    1225 Words  | 3 Pages

    As every well-read person knows, the background in which you grow up plays a huge role in how you write and your opinions. Fuller grew up with a very strict education, learning multiple classic languages before she was eight years old. Fern grew up with writers all throughout her family and had a traditional education and saw first hand the iniquities of what hard-working had to contend with. Through close analysis of their work, a reader can quickly find the connections between their tone, style, content, and purpose and their history of their lives and their educational upbringing.

  • Virginia Woolf: Assertive or Introspective?

    3593 Words  | 8 Pages

    Virginia Woolf begins her memoir Moments of Being with a conscious attempt to write for her readers. While writing her life story, however, she begins to turn inwards and she becomes enmeshed in her writing. By focusing on her thoughts surrounding the incidents in her life instead of the incidents themselves, she unconsciously loses sight of her outward perspective and writes for herself. Her memoir becomes a loose series of declarations of her beliefs connected only by her wandering train of thought. Although Moments of Being deals largely with her conjectures, she is not trying to convince the reader of these beliefs' validity since she is so absorbed in the act of writing. What begins as an outwardly focused memoir evolves into Virginia Woolf's exploration of her thoughts and feelings.

Perhaps in the future the computer alone will be capable of taking on a role as an author as the idea of artificial intelligence becomes more and more developed. And even though the new roles may be hard to adapt to at first, as I found while reading “Disappearing Rain,” there is no denying that people are going to have to adjust to the new writing spaces available by changing the way they write and read.

Certainly one source of difference is biological, by virtue of which we are male and female. “A woman´s writing is always femenine” says Virginia Woolf
