chaos and order
i am, by nature, a chaotic person. no kidding; you should see my desk: papers with drawings, ideas, bills and works scattered all over the place, an ashtray that can no longer hold any more ash, let alone cigarrette tips (which are usually stored in empty beer cans left behind around the ashtray), ash all around the desk and the keyboard, and so on. not even going to describe the rest of the room. the funny thing is, i'm very organized, very methodic when it comes to my real work - the stories i write now and then. everything in my computer is thorougly organized in folders, each different story has an individual folder containing everything related to it (pictures, maps, topics, entire chapters... etc). even all the trash that prolliferates in my desktop like mould has folders, so to enforce some order in the chaos.
this to say that even in the most complicated chaos lies a seed (sometimes small) of order. and, of course, even in the most thorough of the orders there is a little chaos. get someone obsessively organized, and put something out of its place - you'll put his or her mind in a storm.
