ah, those moments when we see a bit of the other side of writing. :)
i was taking a full semester of just james joyce in college (ah, youth and enthusiasm...). we had gotten to ulysses and the professor was explaining how joyce would have a jar full of slips of paper with various motifs (birds, scatology, etc.) and as he started each new chapter, he'd grab a couple slips at random, then use those in the chapter. my opinion on joyce's use of motif definitely dropped a bit...
