So first there is the habit of daily writing, which leads to fluency. Ideas tumble out and thinking and writing grow into more easy partners. A person who likes sentences will begin improving them through revision and stretching the style of expression, and more of the range of the language will belong to the writer over time. Language, the great tool, the inheritance of centuries of traditition and creativity, will be more fully present. Daily writing serves the writer as meditation, as extended inquiry, as conversational opener. Readers happen by and find a kindred person or a helpful project or just something that refreshes their thoughts or their spirits. The writer's habit of daily writing may attract a community of daily readers. Some of the readers will be writers too, and their streams of meditation, inquiry and conversation will converge in unpredictable ways. Already these people have made two things in the world: the writing and the provisional community of readers. But they may realize that they want to make something else. They may begin to collaborate on a virtual project of some kind or something out in the more tangible part of the world. The things they create along the way will owe a debt to the particular benefits of reflection and inquiry and conversation that can grow out of the habit of daily writing.
