Interleaf is very nice. I expect there to be a lot of competition for programs like that.

But with Interleaf I don't even have a spell program.

Formats are going to change because this is what the people want. It's not what the labels want.

With pop music, the format dictates the form to a big degree. Just think of the pop single. It has endured as a form even in the download age because bands conform to a strict format, and work, often very productively, within the parameters.

I think it's one of the Times' problems that they haven't made it clear to readers what various formats mean.

The script is the coloring book that you're given, and your job is to figure out how to color it in. And also when and where to color outside the lines.

It's a very organic process, and it has a specific order to it. I love to write, and once you've written, then you arrange. After the arrangement, you record it, and then you tour it.

Readers often bring a different set of criteria to the work based on the format.

An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and then prints the chaff.

Writing is essentially an internal process.
