Lawrence's writing characteristics
In writing, Lawrence relies on inspiration. Inspiration came, and he was extremely excited to write, and ideas poured in; When he lacked inspiration, he simply stopped writing. He never takes notes, only by memory. When he started writing, and there was a "high-spirited moment", the past was always vividly displayed in front of him.
The background plot of Love in the Haystack is based on this vivid memory, such as the memory of the farm scene in Herges. This is where he met and fell in love with Jesse Chambers.
He doesn't pay much attention to "skills of writing novels" or "skills of writing poems", so his novels, poems and stories are always loose in form. However, due to the extremely strong life experience he expressed, he still received a compact and coherent effect.
