One of my favorite restaurants in New York is the steak-
house Palm Too on Second Avenue. If I decide to set a scene in
Palm TooI’ll certainly be writing about what I knowas I’ve
been there on a number of occasions. Before beginning to
writeI’ll take a moment to call up an image of the place
drawing from my memory and ?lling my mind’s eyean eye
whose vision grows sharper the more it is used. I call it a men-
tal eye because that’s the phrase with which we’re all familiar
but what I actually want to do is open allmy senses. This
memory search will be brief but intensea kind of hypnotic
recall. Andas with actual hypnosisyou’ll ?nd it easier to
accomplish the more you attempt it.
