I would say one key part for me is not to have to validate my process with others; it's hard enough to convince myself most days! I hear you.
Good luck on the metaphor-shifting. I like the gathering/pattern/composition/layers idea. Now I'm going to spend a while trying to think of a concrete metaphor I could make out of that for myself--laying down silt, compacting it into rock? Something, anyway.
The problem is where the mouse sits--my laptop is on me, the mouse is on the bed next to me. I doubt there's really a solution, apart from actually going in to get my laptop fixed.
