About this Quote

This quote by Dick Bruna speaks to the creative process of writing a book. It recommends that all books start with a small concept, which is then developed and expanded upon. This concept might be anything from a character, a setting, a plot, or a style. It is the seed from which the entire book grows. The concept is the structure upon which the author builds the story, adding characters, plot points, and styles. It is the stimulate that sparks the imaginative process and offers the author the motivation to write. The idea is the starting point for the entire book, and without it, the book would not exist. This quote is a tip to authors that all books begin with a little concept, which idea is the most vital part of the imaginative procedure.
