I can't get over how helpful and freeing it is to *physically* see and move things around! to be literally surrounded by the creative process. (and relatedly: why can't this feeling be captured on screens? is it foolish to try?)

Screens are too small, too low resolution! Hard to improvise with too.

Meant to say: I have been trying to get this working on screens for decades. When they changed the meaning of "cut and paste" in 1984, the world lost a vital capability.

Indeed! I'm grateful for all your work in this space. Do you still think it's possible to achieve this level of fluidity on typically-sized screens? Or must the hardware change significantly too?

I recall an anecdote about PG Wodehouse’s writing: he would hang each page on a string strung around the perimeter of the room, and move them up/down as his rewrites of each page made them funnier/less funny. He wasn’t done until every page was at the ceiling.

I came to this thread to tell *this exact anecdote*. Wodehouse was the greatest architect of English prose that has ever existed, so I am happy to emulate what he does.

Every paper I’ve written has been printed, sliced up, and physically re-arranged. It’s incredibly helpful and now a consistent part of my process!
