I'll check out the link when I get home tonight...
With short fiction and - especially - poetry, I find the ideas arriving fully formed. Going back to photography (sort of!), I just need to capture the image - I've already framed the shot, brought everything in to focus, and all I need to do is click the shutter.
Pen & ink doesn't have a fast enough shutter speed to capture the action, and the shot is missed.
That's me, though, and I know plenty of people who aren't wired like that. I blame it - or credit it, depending on your POV - on being the son of an engineer who was the son of an engineer! =)
