You seem to write so much more in your head, and so by the time you get to the keyboard you're already writing the final draft. When I get to the keyboard I'm very much doing the first draft, if not doing the initial planning. Being happy with what I've written is a survival thing, especially seeing as I'm writing these so late in the evening. If I don't do it, I spend half the night going over it in my head, rewriting sentences, moving paragraphs. And I'm barely getting enough sleep as it is without that happening.

Of the time you put into making sure you're completely happy with what you're putting out there. I'm not sure where to go looking for that. Thank you again, Bill, for the lovely thoughts.

I’m not sure where to go looking for that.
