Draft (about 15 minutes, but I wasn't timing myself) on my blog. I tend to follow Norman MacCaig's work pattern: "Sometimes I write a one-fag poem; sometimes it's two."<BR/>ColinColin Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15627539650929533832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16166950.post-78865661585299720902007-12-09T16:52:00.000+00:002007-12-09T16:52:00.000+00:00Heh.

I'm really busy at the moment, both at work and with other poetry deadlines. But maybe, depending on lucky inspiration.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046788730174617923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16166950.post-22816919393768642022007-12-09T15:50:00.000+00:002007-12-09T15:50:00.000+00:00That first word 'interesting' feels loaded.

One-off exercises seem a little pointless. So one thing should lead on to another. But obviously, people can join in at any time, or just observe, as they choose. <BR/><BR/>The more examples of first drafts and revised drafts I have to work with though, the better. Hard to demonstrate by example without any examples!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for pointing browsers in the right direction. Much appreciated.
