Thank you. It is always an interesting conversation talking about ourselves before, during, and after we write. I imagine it is difficult to write something once and be done with it. There are few "first takes" when shooting a movie. We finish a conversation and then add later. "This is what I meant to say." "I want to add one more thing." We change every day, sometimes within a day, so the person who wrote yesterday may return to the piece and tweak or totally change the writing based on all sorts of inputs, dreams, and simply a different perspective. I find it enjoyable to return to ancient writings and wonder, "What was I thinking?" or "I wish I felt that way today." There is a great satisfaction to be stumped by a crossword puzzle only to return to it and out of the ether comes the correct word.
