Introduction to The Paris Review
Reading the introduction of the book “The Paris Review” gives me an idea of many writers who tends to use their creativity or imagination to create a piece of writing. Many writes from the Paris review have their own meanings, for example Stein had mention how students or young writers tend to call themselves professional, their type of writing can be either stories, essays or poems. Each piece of writing makes an author unique by their way of expressing success. Stein also stated that for a writer to be successful, not only discipline has to do with being a great writer, but practicing and always making drafts or pieces of writings demonstrates the capacity the writer has. Someone who likes to writes will have many drafts and will also have afterwords to their drafts, it makes a writer be more engage on what they love to do. “That commitment, that complicity, has little to do with the writing profession as it’s generally taught and practiced, and everything to do with why we read.” I can relate to what stein had said about writing, is not only profession is also engagement, reading has to do a lot with what you want to write or why people write. Not everyone reads, and not everyone has the creativity that a writer has. Therefore, I believe that in order to be a great reader or a writer, they should be well involved in doing both and practicing both, it will help a lot and make each writer more unique.

Nice response, Maria. Every writer is a great reader. I recommend to anyone who is interested the NY Times' "By the Book" column. Every week they interview a famous writer about his/her favorite books, what they're currently reading, what they read as kids, how they organize their books, etc. I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in writing or reading. It's addictive. It comes out online every Thurs.
