Lex Runciman, 1991

Another pleasure, a recurring one though its frequency is unpredictable, lies in finding some accurate phrasing. This phrasing need not be particularly felicitous or pleasing to others; what makes it a source of pleasure is its accuracy. It fits, no, it accurately embodies some thought (however small) which had up until that moment not been verbalized. When it appears on screen or on the page, it clicks into place with a rightness which seems, even if only momentarily, unassailable. So eventually sentences begin to pile up, and sheer quantity becomes a source of private hopefulness, an indication that something is getting made; something is beginning to assume a separate physical presence.
