Sometimes, Jane asks why I did something a certain way and I donβt always have a good answer.
We were talking about writing and I was telling her about my plan for a post in the near future. Iβve got a huge outline written for this post and itβs divided into subsections with their own titles.
She made a comment about it being interesting how much organizational effort I was putting into this one post.
And sheβs right to mention it because I usually donβt. Most of the time, I sit down with a rough idea and hammer something out. Iβll reread it and edit it a couple of times and then send it on its way.
Other times, Iβll compose an entire draft in my head on the ride to work. Then I sit down and write it from memory.
Thereβs something different about this post sheβs talking about. Somehow, it needs this structure. I have strong feelings about it and I donβt completely understand them.
I get this all the time.
Iβll do something a certain way and I donβt know what my motivation is. Just that it feels correct to do it that way.
Maybe that means Iβm bad a introspection.
But I donβt think it really matters as long as Iβm happy with the outcome.
