Subject:RE: Do you edit with your mouth open? From:"Darges, Katherine" <katherine -dot- darges -at- defensegp -dot- com> To:"Susan Hogarth" <hogarth -at- gmail -dot- com>, <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 22 Aug 2006 07:56:27 -0400
Only if I am moaning or screaming about the drek on which I am working.
I do find that, frequently, I am tapping my foot to music in my head
while I am editing. Just the other day, I was working on an avian
influenza report and realized that my subconscious had chosen to sing,
"Bird, bird, bird. Bird is the word." Fortunately, no one else knew
that. Except, now, of course, you.

Subject: Do you edit with your mouth open?
I do. I have no idea why, but I notice that when I'm very focused, my
mouth dries out :)
Or do you stick out your tongue, grind your teeth, chew your lips, tap
your toes, or ...?
What mechanical 'crutch' does your mind associate with working?
