Metaphors for the writing process
- Abstract:
- This chapter discusses various metaphors that have been suggested as conceptual models by numerous authors in the past to try and understand aspects of their creative process and the roles of the literary draft. The question is whether they are all equally apt. By juxtaposing several of them, the aim is to investigate to what extent certain metaphors are forms of writers’ self-representation that may not always correspond with the reality of what is left in the drafts. These metaphors are organised in three sections, focusing respectively on questions of “Authorship” (ways of framing what it is to be a maker or creator), “Inspiration” (imagination, invention, discovery as cognitive phenomena) (Clark 1997), and “Perspiration” (writing strategies, tactics and techniques).
