Guidance from Flannery O'Connor

In her essay "Writing Short Stories," American Author Flannery O'Connor wrote:
"Learning to see is the basis for learning all the arts except music.  I know a good many fiction writers who paint, not because they're any good at painting, but because it helps their writing.  It forces them to look at things.  Fiction writing is very seldom a matter of saying things; it is a matter of showing things."
