Yes, isn’t that a great feeling to be able to follow the writing, rather than predetermine it? Particularly with poetry—though certainly with essays, too—I think that I know what something is going to be about. I mean, I start out with a very definite idea—only to be surprised. And sometimes I struggle to be open with this process…even as I know how important it is. In many ways, I honestly don’t know what I think until I write it. Strange and interesting process. Sue
