I like writing little random notes. This is particularly true if I am working on a large project, and have not yet figured out how to organize it.<\/p>\n
The notes come to me at odd hours. I might jot down a phrase or two with pencil on paper, and then below that jot down another seemingly disconnected thought.<\/p>\n
Eventually I transfer all of those little gnomic scribbles to a computer, and expand on them, maybe turning a phrase into a paragraph. That last part is very helpful, because I often don’t really know why I’ve written a note until later.<\/p>\n
After enough of these expanded notes, I usually start to see how they all fit together into a coherent whole. It’s as though the entire picture was there in the back of my mind all the time, but required reassembly to be accessed.<\/p>\n
It would be great if one day I could somehow directly access that complete picture, rather than needing to take such an indirect and piecemeal route to see it. That would be a fine day indeed. <\/p>\n
Until then, I guess I’ll keep writing little random notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
