Feeling a Draft · Nov 14, 11:26 PM
There’s an anecdote in Peter Turchi’s Maps of the Imagination about Katherine Anne Porter writing entire stories in her head & revising them mentally as well, so that all she had to do is sit down & type out the final draft. The inventor Nicolai Tesla is said to have been able to invent a mechanical device in his imagination, set it running, then come back later to check on how it worked. Yesterday, driving home from work, I composed a poem. It was only five lines long. And I still had to do four written drafts before I got it right.
