Why I write- Jane Didion

When I read this article, at first I was a little confused on what the whole point of it was. She didn't seem to get to the main idea until the second page or so. But then after she started talking about how she discovered herself to be a writer and how she uses pictures to write, I could somewhat relate to her. When I write, I try to get an image in my head and work from that I think it makes it a lot easier to write and to stay on topic. Sometimes when you're just trying to write something and you don't have a clear thought of what you really want to write about, then you can get sidetracked and lost in your thoughts.
