I seem to be making a patchwork quilt. Lots of bits, and I'll fit them together later.

The weird part isn't that--for all I know, that's how everyone writes novels. The weird part is jumping out of bed to grab paper and pen, because I've thought of something for the novel after I turned the computer and the lights off. The weird part is waking up thinking of the novel.

I don't know if it's going to be any good, but it's going to be.

My thesis in Creative Writing worked just that way. Since it was before the personal computer was common, even though I was word processing it I ended up literally cutting and pasting it together on the floor before making it so on the machine.

You're definitely going to finish.
