I (too) often think about Stephen Hawking's idea that to discover the Theory of Everything, the definitive One Equation, would be to know the mind of God. When reading the creation of writers, I find myself trying to figure out the writer's mind, and in writing the above piece, "Ghost Town," I found myself looking for ways to give readers access to the mind of the creator.

For Friday's Writing Prompt, try to find a way to give readers access to your mind and/or thinking, and have that element of the piece (this glimpse into the mind of the piece's creator) be an essential part of the piece's workings.
