It comes in types; there's the kind like loading a canoe, so that everything is on an even keel and headed somewhere together, and there's the kind like large rotating bits of machinery, that would fly apart if they were not balanced but which strenuously resist being taken anywhere at all, and which might not be balanced at all were they not moving.

I am sure no-one has ever compared your writing process to helicopter rotors before, but it might be you've been using the rotating machinery model, and are contemplating an alteration to the canoe model, so it's not just a question of balance but also of relative arrangements of the items of concern.

May April arrive in the absence of either exhaustion or dread!
