friday, december 12, 1980 Japanese daily nebraskan page 13 0 0 0 i Continued from Page 12 The nightmare quality of this is quickly overshadowed by the stark efficiency of the process. As I look around this last week and see the incredible number of people 1 running like rats with gnats to get papers and late assign--1 ments in, I begin tosee the sense of the system. .1 God knows, I should have been canned a long time ago. ' . This process can probably be applied to a number of things besides publishing. You could force banal relation ( ships, for example, to run their course by canning the couple for a week in a hotel. Or perhaps can habitual de- s baters in a room together and make them argue politics until a monastic life appeals to them. The possibilities are "i endless. The canning process in Japanese publishing makes a lot of sense. For those of us who love to hate to write, it is a process worth looking into. I have made a semi effort. East meets west in a system compromise called "corking." I have been corked lately, that is ever so often I wiggle out and look around before climbing into the bottle again and Hailing away at the typewriter. Uven though American writers don't have the Japanese publish ing system they can someday look forward to pocmine their cork permanently-having at least one complete work sitting in front of them, rather than having random stabs that sit in pieces around the room. Discipline is one of the hardest things in the world to maintain, self discipline may just be the hardest. For those of us who need a mommy to occasionally slap our wandering hands, the Zen-Baptist (As Gino Sky might call it) nature of self-imposed exile is well worth exploring.
