"The engine sounded closer and he remembered he was no longer a virgin and would never be quite as young and naïvely aimless as he had been that afternoon."

@oliviamccabe yes I think it all feeds in somehow - that's a great analogy, the sketchbook idea! I once went to a talk by #PatrickGale where he talked about having a 'treasury' starting at the back of a notebook with the notes and scrappy stuff, and the coherent first draft in sentences working forward from the front. I sort of end up with 2 notebooks, one with the first draft and the other with general jottings and life lists (with a bit of crossover between the 2)
