For me, reworking the past over and over again is a way not to trivialise the garments and not to obsess over hem lengths.

Of course I'm schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart.

American Actress

Joanne Harris

I don't listen to music when I'm writing, but I often do when I'm reworking, editing or when I need to relax.

 but weirdly, we also have fish that are eating chickens. Because the byproducts of chickens -- feathers, blood, bone -- get ground up and fed to fish. So I often wonder, is there a fish that ate a chicken that ate a fish? It's sort of a reworking of the chicken and egg thing. Anyway --
