Well, in school they're mostly focusing on product, because they don't

physical that you can point at.

Many of my teachers have focussed on process - on the understanding that
process and interpretation are exactly symmetrical and that
interpretation comes before process. (It was only when I met rasf that I
realised that many writers do not construct their books that way.)

Could you unpack the first part of that a bit more? I'm not sure I
understand what they might have meant by "process" and "interpretation,"
because I have a hard time wrapping my brain around the notion that you can
interpret something that you haven't created yet. Or how interpretation and
process can be symmetrical.

I thought that Catja was just saying that whatever the interpretation
was
it came prior to the process. When I was briefly an art major and we
were
asked to present and explain something we'd done it was always in the
context that we'd planned to do what we did. I got pretty good at
looking
at something after the fact and explaining intentions I never had.

I'm not sure why this didn't bother my sense of honesty. I guess I
looked at it like a game that didn't really fool anyone.
