My admiration for those who are truly proficient in writing is unbounded because every now and then, I glimpse just how far ahead of us wannabes they really are. Linda Nichols is an author with Park Literary Group (a New York agency) and described the role of the creative process in writing: A story usually begins with a seed. Sometimes it's an event. The opening scene from At the Scent of Water was born when I was having dinner with friends and we watched a man at a nearby table wait with champagne, roses, and a very small velvet box for a dinner partner who never came. I never forgot the impact of watching that man wait, and several years later a story was born from this incident.(http://www.parkliterary.com/writingtips.html)
An entire story in barely 5 lines.
