The Craft: Adam Rapp
Q Once you have an idea, how do you proceed? Do you take notes? Do you outline? Do you plunge right in?
A If it’s an idea that really grabs me, meaning I can’t stop thinking about it for a few days, then I plunge right in, at the expense of everything in my life (laundry, lunch dates, etc.). I’ll usually have a scattering of notes here and there, a few moments that might be very clumsily jotted down, and then I go headlong into it. It’s generally very sloppy at first, and then I go back to the beginning with each session and refine and rework stuff. I keep working that way, from page one every time, until I have a draft.
