What writers have is a license and also the freedom to sit - to sit, clench their fists, and make themselves excruciatingly aware of the stuff that we’re mostly aware of only on a certain level. And that if the writer does their job right, what he basically does is remind the reader of how smart the reader is. Is to wake the reader up to stuff the reader’s been aware of all the time. And it’s not a question of the writer having more capacity than the average person. It’s that the writer is willing, I think, to cut it off, cut themself off from certain stuff, and develop… and just, and think really hard. Which not everybody has the luxury to do.
