"Mouths reciting 'Old Man and the Sea' by Hemingway"- This image is interesting because writing is always thought of as a non-verbal form of communication. But sometimes, or all the time it doesn't have to be like that. I often say out loud what I am reading or writing because hearing my voice can help me to retain what I am reading or trying to say while I am writing.
"Making a Sandwich"- This image of the parts of the sandwich being spiraled down a deep hole was very hypnotic to watch. But I wasn't sure what this had to do with the "writing process." Is the sandwich making or eating helping the writer write? I'm not sure, I felt this image was kind of random.
"Driving Off a Cliff"- This is definitely a strong image about what it feels like to write! He even says something along the lines of "I drive my car off a cliff to kill myself." Wow! So that is what writing feels like to you Chel White? I can almost relate to this because sometimes certain things that I have to write I absolutely do not want to write at all. When I go into writing a paper or an essay thinking like this, the process can feel like driving a car off a cliff. But unlike, Chel White I sometimes never find that central idea before I fall down the cliff. Sometimes I feel like I write a paper that literally sounds like I have fallen off the cliff. But honestly I'm okay with that. If I don't like the topic I'm suppose to write about and I can't really "get into it" I probably will write a paper like that this.
