A Writer's Notebook, Day Eight-Hundred-And--Eighty-Six
It has been an interesting process, preparing work for this new manuscript. So much of the effort, to this point, has been small things. The largest result, at least in terms of what can be seen, is the pile of poems itself, but those already existed, of course. It is their curation into the manuscript, their inclusion, which can be considered a result so far, but that is only a first step. Their is a great deal more that has been considered and done, but which is not yet present other than as an idea. I know that at some point soon, it will all begin to click together. That is how it happens, at least for me: the ideas have to become clear, and then I can get to work on the actual revision and such. It takes knowing the work, and knowing it together, in context. That is what I am doing now, and it is important for me to recognize that as significant, as more than just sitting around, even though it is sitting with the work.
