Writing Is Shitting

I can only stay constipated for so long; the words are coming out.

Thing is:
am I going to have to shit in the woods?
In a port-a-potty?
In a nice toilet?

Shitting in the woods is horrible, and ruins a piece of land.

Shitting in a port-a-potty is uncomfortable, but doesn't damage anything.

Shitting in a nice toilet is a satisfying release. And, make that toilet nice enough, and it actually raises a house's value.

KEY:
Woods = no structure, ie diaries, sketches, letters
Port-a-Potty = some structure, ie stories with a central concept but a half-assed outline
Toilet = well-structured, ie well researched and outlined stories

Yes, I'd rather take the time and create a nice toilet to shit in. But if all I've got is the woods.... well, when a girl's got to go, she's got to go.
