Rewrite

Today was the second Gantt chart, the second Thesis outline and the second round of Postcursor drafting, each greater and more wondrous than the last.

Well, each more accurate and refined than the last.

Each more directed than the last.

Even the Boss is excited about the direction I'm headed. I'm feeling pretty chuffed.

The

Power

Immediacy 

 

 which has some cool theories like

RECOGNIZING
IMMEDIACY
In
order
to
preserve
immediacy,
we
must
first
recognize
it
when
we
see
it.
A
group
is
immediate
when
the
members
experience
a
rush
of
feel-
ings
and
find
themselves
free
enough
to
express
them.
It
is
immediate
when
the
members
bring
up
new
ideas
and
form
new
relationships,
when
their
memories
are
newly
discovered
and
yet
feel
old
and
eternal.
When
a
group

Ormont
is
immediate,
the
vague
becomes
real.
The
essence
of
immediacy--constant
engagement
with
others--is
the
continuous
presence
of
the
unforeseen.
Be-
hind
these
manifestations
is
the
force
of
evolving
relationships
among
the members.

I like this a fair bit, even though it's from psychology.

But the point is I've been rereading and rewriting and I'm feeling pretty pumped - even though I have to write 800 words a day for the next while!!
