How could I possibly consider writing as a profession? I rely on scenery to far too great an extent in my mind, that it would be near impossible to translate my thoughts into linear thinking. I know that a writer can pain a picture with words, but to give each its due, I would have to write a novel's length for each instant. I should approach this with a Zen methodology, like some oriental paintings, spare the details but capture the essence. Describe just enough to carry the point across the page... Now there's the million dollar question: what's the point?
