>>It has been dark and cold all week... Some people I knew at work wanted to see what kind of a writer I was. So for a period of several months, I would think of what to write on my walk back from lunch, sit down at my computer for 15 minutes, type it in, e-mail to those who wanted to see it. I did not compose anything in advance and it was a coherent narrative. I know the argument about first thought-best thought, writing that is natural and not mannered, but I always subscribe to Pissarro's notion that the work cannot be sufficiently interrogated.
