A painting covers its tracks. Painters work from the ground up. The latest version of a painting overlays a earlier versions, and obliterates them. Writers, on the other hand, work from left to right. The discardable chapters are on the left. The latest version of a literary work begins somewhere in the work's middle, and hardens toward the end.
