How are denotation and connotation applied in the writing process

Denote is what the word itself says and connote is the supposed meaning that might or can be brought up of that word.

Explanation:

When a word denotes, that means it is exactly what the word itself means and not something or any emotional association it might arouse in the reader.  

But when we say connote or connotation, it is quite the opposite of denote. Connote means the emotional or other explanation of the sentence or word. It is the feeling or imagination that comes up when one thinks of a word or a sentence.
