So Then The Next Play Is Always A Rebellion. Or Like, The Thing I Didn't Even Realize I Was Doing Last Time I Will Make Sure I Don't Do This Time. But There's Always Some Other Blind Spot.

But The Thing About Writing Prose - And Maybe Great Prose Writers Don't Feel This Way - But I Always Felt It Was About Choosing Words. I Was Always Like, "i Have To Choose The Perfect Word." And Then It Would Kill Me, And I Would Choose The Wrong Word Or I Would Choose Too Many Perfect Words - I Wrote Really Purple Prose.
