Writing: it takes two steps

Step I

Step II

 From discovery

To presentation

From draft

To reconsideration

From the creative

To the intellectual

From an easy way

To an organized way

From the uninterruptible

To the interruptible

From the writer's view

To the reader's view

From the scouring out of meaning by template

To the laying out of meaning by reader's need

Meaning is not what you start out with; it's what you end up with.

Peter Elbow, The Boston Globe, March 26, 2000
