Less like work.....

I just hit Send, and watched my completed response to the six Writes of the first week of the online PW course go sailing off across the country. It took me a long time. Hours on Saturday, more on Sunday, and then this whole morning.

I don't mind spending the time, but this is an experiment, and my felt sense right now is that the process--theirs and mine--wants to be lighter, quicker, more quick-footed. Less density. Definitely should not be laborious.

So this coming week, I am going to respond to the Writes as they come in, rather than all together at the end of the week. That already feels lighter. More like composing a haiku than a term paper. I think that will be more fun for the writers too. Less like work.
