Let me tell you the story of the sage and the scribe.
Said the sage to the scribe:
Sometimes words find paper. Sometimes paper finds words. I've heard that 'screens' can be involved.

Said the scribe to the sage:
What?!? Rocks! I'm still writing on rocks! When did this so-called paper and farce of 'screens' happen?
— Amanda Salisbury (@shyjot) July 22, 2015
Said the sage with a knowing sort of nod:
Exactly.

And the scribe immediately stopped writing to DO ALL THE RESEARCH on form. And was never heard from again.

There are times to be the scribe. If you’re blessed with a long career and much wisdom, there may even be times to be the sage. Occasionally, be the paper or the words or the screen or the rocks.
Wait. What?
Nope. You know what, just write. Until you’ve done that, don’t mess with the rest.
