A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.

ideas gardening momentum
Ideas come at any moment -- except when you demand them. Most ideas come while I'm physically active, at the gym, with friends, gardening, so I always carry pen and paper. My first draft is always written in longhand. But once the first dozen chapters, more like short stories, are written, then momentum builds until I can't leave the project until it's done.
writing moments
Don't write about your most emotionally charged moment as a learning thing.
