Writers on writing

In Kent Haruf’s article, “Writers on Writing” (2000) he declares that each writer has their own way of getting their words down on paper. Haruf supports his claim by giving examples of how other writers such as Thomas Wolfe, Flannery O’Conner and Eudora Welty of their specific ways of writing. Kent Haruf’s purpose in this article is to tell writers that whatever they need to do to get their creative juices flowing and to get their words on paper, it is okay to do no matter how odd it may be. In order for Haruf to help his readers he gives a description of the room that he writes in and explains the certain paper he uses for his first drafts that he blindly writes. Kent Haruf seemed to be writing to writers that get writers block and gives them support to find their certain ways to getting their words and creativity on paper.
