Firstly, what's a POP IT and WHERE HAS IT BEEN HIDING ALL MY LIFE.

But secondly, I'm a process junkie who has resisted (hated) all questions (even to self) around filmmaking processes, because I often feel the doing of the deed (writing, filming, filing taxes) exists somewhere between the verbal and the non-verbal, the real and ephemeral, the conscious and subconscious (hello, laundry), and spelling it out may just be doing the actual deed a...disservice?

Am I superstitious? NO NOT AT ALL TOUCH WOOD THOO THOO

Sometimes the way to cure yourself of process is to ask yourself of the process in everything except writing. It's blah, it's meh, this whole process thing, everybody does it all the time (including, alas, accountants). But the writer zone, my friend, that one is special to only to some, tell us some more about it :) Loved the essay, and the postscript!
