I write at my best when somewhat deprived of sleep and when I do not read what it is I am writing. The feedback I receive visually interrupts the process and slows, degrades, and weakens the information I am attempting to convey. For many reasons, these included, I attempt to evoke this state of being when I need write particularly well or for a long period. Other influences and distractions further erode any quality or sensibility to it, be it the presence of others to noise.
