Milton Glaser said, “The great benefit of drawing is that when you look at something, you see it for the first time.”
I like to think this applies to me and my writing the same as it does to you and your form of art.
I could read everything that Malcolm Gladwell has written, then, if I were to type out a story, word-for-word, from one of his articles, I would still be seeing that story for the first time.
Of course, seeing is something much more than observing the image of something, it’s more like seeing into it.
You could craft the same business plan Jeff Bezos has written for Amazon and even after studying every part of it, transposing it would still allow you to see it for the first time.
This concept of fundamental to education. You can be told of a technique or an idea, but you won’t truly see it until you apply it or do it yourself.
