JOE: Good morning Calliope.
CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you today?
JOE: A little better than yesterday. I am holding my own in a struggle with the first cold I have had in ages.
CALLIOPE: I hope you win.
JOE: So do I.
CALLIOPE: I am anxious to know how you resolved your difficulty with your column yesterday.
JOE: First I had to figure out what the problem was.
CALLIOPE: Did you?
JOE: Yes. I had several distinct ideas which refused to communicate with each other and form a coherent piece.
CALLIOPE: That is a problem. What did you do about it?
JOE: I wrote as much as I could. When I realized I was getting nowhere, I put aside the column to let it percolate while I worked on other projects.
CALLIOPE: So what happened?
JOE: I trusted the process which I have used before. Later in the day, the connections appeared and the ideas started working together.
CALLIOPE: To what do you owe the honor?
JOE: To you, I expect. Thanks for the inspiration. Talk with you tomorrow.

JOE: Good morning Calliope.
CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you today?
JOE: Okay, I guess. I went all winter without a cold and today I am struggling with one. My head is a little foggy today.
CALLIOPE: Will it slow you down?
JOE: I think it already has.
CALLIOPE: Tell me about it.
JOE: Yesterday I was working on my column for this Saturday. I talked with you about the idea last week, "Lessons from a Nude Beach."
CALLIOPE: Yes?
JOE: I thought it would be an easy column to write. I had a few clear ideas in my mind and thought I could compose a coherent column with ease.
CALLIOPE: Not the case?
JOE: No. I found the ideas harder to put into words than I realized and ended up with some disconnected observations which did not form a coherent piece.
CALLIOPE: How did it end up?
JOE: It didn't. At least not yet. I decided to put it aside and work on it today.
CALLIOPE: Is it still waiting?
JOE: I think of it as aging or marinating. I will get it out when we are finished and see whether I can pull it together. I'll let you know the results tomorrow. Talk with you then.
