Communication

Read Genesis 10-12

Genesis 11:7 "Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

Writing is communication. Even if we’re writing fiction, we want our readers to understand what we’re trying to say.

The ideas in our heads seem so clear. We know exactly what we want to say.

Something happens as those ideas make their way from our brains to the page. They become jumbled and messy. They don’t make any sense, even to us who just wrote them.

 

Fortunately, we have a chance to fix them and make them right. Then our readers will know what we meant for them to know.
