so many things to do: i mentioned some of the mathematical ones last time. i might be growing calmer with age .. or more apathetic, perhaps .. but i'm not really worried about them.
thesis work has become regular work, and often it reminds me of creative writing. i have an idea of how something should go and i try working out it, much like how a plot would come to mind and i'd start a first draft.
of course, something usually gets in the way: some obstruction due to geometry, perhaps, and then i'd have to weigh if the original idea has any merit left, or if something new has come out of my inquiry. i suppose this is like editing.
in either event, the initial argument has to be reworked into something more substantial, much like how re-writing goes. it will probably run through several drafts and polishes, until i give up .. and either it becomes a final draft, or tossed into the wastebasket.
the analogy is not perfect, but i still see the resemblance.
