Danny lichts text really inspired me to use creativity in my writing. In his short story “Against Recipes” the author says to not be strict with following recipes and that recipes should only be used for inspiration. The author treats cooking as an art and he doesn’t use precise measurements. The reason he says to cook without any precise measurements or techniques is because we should learn what we like and what tastes good for us. He believes that we should experiment and find our favorite tastes. Keeping our cook books out of the kitchen will prevent us from looking at it during cooking and open the door for imagination. Keeping it close to your bed will however let you use the cookbooks for inspiration not as a set of rules. This is why i will follow lichts advice and treat writing as an art. I will not only write because I have to write for a grade but I will write out of my heart using my own experiences. I will use lichts symbolism of cooking for my writing and my daily life. You shouldn’t follow strict guidelines and rules. Live life the way you find it comfortable or right. I will also keep my rubric for this writing close to my bed so I can look at it for inspiration for what I need to do and not get out of track.
