​Craft is all about choice. Whether you are creating a poem, story, painting or photograph, writers and artists make imaginative and sometimes unforeseen choices at every point in their process. Sometimes the piece becomes something you never imagined it to be, and sometimes you choose to start again. Either way, each step takes you higher and higher towards achieving a finished piece.
