A Writer's Notebook, Two-Thousand-Two-Hundred-And-Twenty

One of the advantages of writing as much as I do is that I don't usually feel all that egotistical about what I have written.  I am not, as it were, precious about my poems.  Part of this is just because by the time I am revising a poem, I have probably written dozens more.  I rarely feel attached to a specific line in the way I might be if I didn't write so much as I do.
