List,
I have a hard time conveying the process by which I come up with new ideas.
I study, jot down impressions, work up a thesis, map out possibilities, and
check these possibilities against my original impressions. These ideas are
re-worked over a period of time and examined to see how they fit the "whole"
of my impressions across different theoretical musings. Also, more of what
I read, and more of what I "think", and more of what I work out influences
the final idea...which is "notated" or graphed and to which I refer when I
am considering new information. I thought "notes" was a good word to convey
this process (of notation). I am long enough out of school that I don't
automatically assume that "noting" something involves "taking notes". I am
defensive because people assume that I must have used someone elses ideas to
come up with my own...most are quite original, though.
