Putting a book together is interesting and exhilarating. It is sufficiently difficult and complex and it engages all your intelligence. It is life at its most free. Your freedom as a writer is not freedom of expression in the sense of wild blurting; you may not let it rip. It is life at its most free, if you are fortunate enough to be able to try it, because you select your materials, invent your task, and pace yourself.

Creating a book is both a fascinating and energizing process that requires significant mental engagement. It is a challenging yet rewarding endeavor that utilizes all aspects of one’s intellect. For those fortunate enough to engage in this craft, it represents a form of ultimate freedom, allowing writers to explore their creativity fully.

However, this freedom is not chaotic or uninhibited; it demands structure and discipline. Writers must thoughtfully choose their content, define their objectives, and manage their own pace. In this way, the act of writing is a balance between personal expression and the constraints that shape it.
