Saunders and DFW

Saunders had some very interesting points about writing a story. He had ideas such as sometimes he writes with a general idea in his head, but never sure where he will end up with a piece of writing. He also says that it often is good to cut out a lot of the story because then you can be more intimate with the reader. This is an interesting point to me because if you are able to cut things out then the reader can fill in the blanks in a way that is more relatable to them. In Saunders writing he used very vivid imagery which allowed the reader to picture exactly what he was describing. He also said that you should slowly unravel the character because it is through those that you can raise questions.  DFW also uses the imagery that was discussed before in letting the reader imagine exactly what you want them to. In my project I would like to make sure I describe stuff in such detail that people reading it can connect to it the way I intend for them to do so.
