Interesting, Doug. I too let the line out to follow its own way (unreeling from the body and mind) but then I look at what it says, and sculpt something from there. Maybe too much at times, but then if I leave them alone, raw draft, often scattered draft not roar draft, they can be - inconclusive, directionless, windy ... I'm not voting for form or set order here, and I'm not looking for 'meaning', but maybe some kind of cohesion. (This is not directed at the Snap presented - I'm just trying to get my true thoughts down on the cyber page.) I respect 'what you know', Doug, so would like to hear a discussion on it re: yr writing practice.
