Without imagination, writers are worthless. Imagination is their lifeblood. They do not take story endings at face value; they create alternate climaxes, devise different decisions, and realize contrasting resolutions to conceptualize new narrative paths. They are not happy with the "perfect" sentence. They rewrite even the favorite ones they've read or written to shape other realities.
The next time you read a sentence so good it gives you the chills, try rewriting it. Who knows what will come up. Maybe the beginning of a new story.
