Imagine a leaf

Think of its color, its shape.
Turn it over in your mind.

Imagine a tree

See it as a whole, standing in a field,
the branches swaying slightly in the breeze.

Imagine the impossible

Can you now imagine a tree,
and all the individual leaves,
at the same time?Of course not.
That is why writing is so hard.

We need to keep the general plot in mind,
while we write one line of dialogue.
We need to have the central thesis in mind,
while we work on an individual argument.

Taking it all in

Whether we are looking at a tree, or imagining one,
we simply cannot hold all the leaves in our mind as individual units.

And the same goes for stories and ideas.

Gingko is a new way to write, that lets you go
from idea to outline to text, quickly and easily.
