Poem Project . . .

So it seems that the evidence of process somewhat diminishes when you are under a time crunch. Ergo, my silence on this blog the last few days. Tomorrow is the last day, so I'll post some notebook scribbles/word banks/indecisions as well as all seven sections typed up.

In the mean time, I discovered this interesting article over on BBC News. In describing the various stages of list making, Jane O'Brien notes "the extraordinary sense of satisfaction from having created a rigid timetable of impossible tasks that has taken a disproportionate amount of time and thought.
It doesn't matter that I will never look at it again." I am happily guilty of list-making, and I too rarely look again after a list has been made. Sometimes, I have to make a list to calm my mind down enough to sleep; if I know that I have written it down for tomorrow, I can stop thinking about it today.

Any other list-makers out there? I know some of you...
