the differences in the kinds of activity occurring within one's own head between the first draft of a novel and subsequent revisions are vast. these are processes so independent and wholly discordant that it hardly seems fair to lump them together in the united category we call writing. I am trying to take up the spirit- and blood-vacated carcasses of gunned-down facts in one hand while capturing wispy and vagrant idea-smoke in the fingers of the other and, in a vainglorious operation of shameless alchemy improvised on the spot, transmute the works into the ponderous weight of letters written in gold. I'm sure it would be easier to spend my time gearing up for the baseball season.
This is the most serious April Fool entry I've ever encountered.
