When i write, i fall into the zone many writers, painters, musicians, athletes, and craftsmen of all sorts seem to share: in doing something i enjoy and am expert at, deliberate thought falls aside and it is all just there. i think of the next word no more than the composer thinks of the next note.

More From Roger Ebert

The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining. if the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void. when the composer withholds less, the opposite occurs: he forces us to perform gymnastic exercises more skillful than our own.
