KENT HARUF
Kent Haruf in his literary analysis in "Writers on Writing" (11-20-2000), explores the creative ways that writers enter their creative zone and begin their masterpieces on paper. Kent depicted his findings through exploring how writers from John Cheever, to Maya Angelou open their minds by putting themselves either in the shoes of the character their writing about or just by putting themselves in social awkward positions due to the fact that it makes them feel comfortable and not restricted to the compounds of their earth bound bodies. Kent through his article tells how authors through their mysterious writing habits leave this world and lock themselves in their minds and find peace in their thoughts away from all the chaos that the world produces on a daily basis. Kent in this article was targeting an audience that is interested in how authors beat writers block and overcome the overwhelming ordeals that writers face when writing a book. He reveals this by telling the reader that he himself has a special writing area where he escapes the world and although its a strange area to be but it fulfills the task of escaping the world without going far from home.
