You Begin With a Subject

You begin with a subject, gather material, and work your way to structure from there. You pile up volumes of notes and then figure out what you are going to do with them, not the other way around.

to write into the detail, or to let the detail move you to write. a two way street, depending on mood, weather, experience, belief, language, location of the planets, and a million other details that are not within our consciousness.
Oh wait, was that writing detail, or was that the detail getting in the way of writing. damn it, now im confused. ;)
