BETWEEN WRITER AND TEXT

I am talking about the writing process in this odd-sounding way?as if the text were a living thing?because it seems to me more accurate to the feel of writing than the usual descriptions. If we say that a text is planned, written, and rewritten, we imply that the writer is the agent who shapes the product after his or her will. The relationship is one-way: the writer affects his or her material. The writer's relationship to the text, his or her psychological distance from it, is fixed, static. The text changes as it evolves; the writer does not.
