Rhetorical Precis #2

            In the creative article “WRITERS ON WRITING; To See Your Story Clearly, Start by Pulling the Wool Over Your Own Eyes” (2000), Kent Haruf claims that spontaneity is essential to free, creative writing.  Haruf supports his statement by providing examples of other authors with their peculiar habits and writing environments.  The purpose of this article was to promote the procedure of blind writing and spontaneity in order to exclude perfection and compulsory writing.  The author not only provided examples of the peculiar writing environments but also he presented personal examples, which made the article relatable to a diverse audience.
