I edit as I go. Especially when I go to commit it to paper. I prefer a typewriter even to a computer. I don't like it. There's no noise on the computer. I like a typewriter because I am such a slow typist. I edit as I am committing it to paper. I like to see the words before me and I go, "Yeah, that's it." They appear before me and they fit. I don't usually take large parts out. If I get stuck early in a song, I take it as a sign that I might be writing the chorus and don't know it. Sometimes,you gotta step back a little bit and take a look at what you're doing. John Prine

So when you're talking about intangible things like emotions, the listener can fill in the blanks and you just draw the foundation.

Maybe that whole love thing is just a grown-up version of Santa Claus; just a myth we've been fed since childhood.

Meg Ryan
