<Begin Log, [optional time info]>

Mark Walter: I've been writing. Well drawings to but mostly writing. None of it feels right.

Ford Wallers: Isn’t naturalism more scientific?

Mark Walter: It’s supposed to be.

Ford Wallers: Then what's the issue?

Mark Walter: It doesn't feel right.

Ford Wallers: It’s accurate, isn’t it.

Mark Walter: It’s accurate enough. I write what I see but it's not enough. It just doesn’t feel like I’m getting it.

Ford Wallers: What do you mean? You're not trying to tell a story, you just gotta make your observations.

Mark Walter: It would be better if there was a story.

Ford Wallers: It isn’t your job to tell a story.

Mark Walter: Yes, yes I know. But how can I fill in the gaps.

Ford Wallers: The gaps?

Mark Walter: You can't draw lines between everything.

Ford Wallers: Just write what you see.

Mark Walter: What if I don’t understand what I’m seeing?

Ford Wallers: what don't you understand.

Mark Walter: I don’t know… I don’t know.
