T.C. Boyle

This composer looks at understanding the importance of technology in the creative word. He expresses the influence it has had on his works, by being able to revise he is able to add new sections to amplify the characters part in the story and has proven to make it easier to write, finishing the equivalent of three days writing in a couple hours. This is an important section because it expresses the need and advance writing has come to as technology has increased. This is an important style for me to learn because I am extremely awful with technology and being aware of the importance it has for constructive writing is the “push factor” I need to embrace the upcoming advances.

Paul Simon

Paul Simon using this paper as a chance to describe his technique for writing songs, which is similar to the way, I write papers. He expressed his need for starting with a blank paper and sitting in a silent room, writing down the thoughts that came from the melodies he produced. I think this is a great way to start writing because it makes you think of the experiences you have had and how you can construct a meaningful connection out of it.

Grant Achatz

Grant Achatz, a famous chef known for his inventive/creative unusual foods, uses a style similar to telling a story within his dishes. He describes his dishes as looking at specific ingredients, sensation, and seasons that can translate into a story on the plate. I think this is an important style because it really stretches a creator’s imagination. By having to take simple ingredients and transfer them into a theme, like autumn, shows the authors real creativity. This does not only apply to chefs but to writers as well. By being able to take simple characters, ingredients, and making them combine and join together to create a plot, theme, is what makes a good writer.
