The second exercise...

was in our smaller notebooks. Two minutes of automatic writing with no set topic, no restrictions or conditions. Still warming up. Between these exercises, Harry talked about where we write from and what we write with, asking us to think about these questions without trying to answer them. He talked about the difference between gratification and satisfaction. "The worst day of my life is publication day," he said. Because it's a temporary feeling of gratification, but soon enough it's apparent that he's not satisfied with the book (or the article or what-have-you). His solution to this dilemma is that we should find a way to make the process of writing satisfactory, not so much the end result.



2 minutes
