Pieces of the Puzzle

       For me, writing is like a puzzle just waiting to be tackled and completed.  In our minds, there are hundreds of structureless thoughts floating around. These thoughts lack direction and make little sense when analyzed on an individual basis, much like the individual pieces of a puzzle. Writing is a way to turn our thoughts into something more than a jumbled mess. Like pieces of a puzzle, our thoughts come together to form a coherent image or idea. There is only one way these pieces, or thoughts, fit together to most effectively project the main idea upon the observer. Although there may be many attempts at accomplishing our ultimate goal of completion, the final outcome is worth the time and effort. In the end, we feel a sense of success and achievement for having constructed something logical out of something so initially disorganized.
