Me? I have simply no idea what you're talking about. I just spend 10 minutes per day making these neat finger paintings.

On redrafting, they say that art is never finished, only abandoned. Working and reworking is part of the artistic process for everything except maybe sculpting where you can't paint over your mistakes.

On the intent-word divide, literature represents the mind of the author, and is best rendered honestly and uninhibited. Whether or not it interests people is something only the public can decide. Maybe the work ends up being something no one will understand or relate to - certainly understandability should be a goal. But sometimes even the strange and incomprehensible is appealing to people. Look at Picasso, whose work seems to represent the mind of a broken-down madman, yet inexplicably his art is worth millions.
