Drawing versus Doodling

Right now all i want to do is doodle. If i want to turn something into a drawing, i get overwhelmed by the amount of markings, ornamentation, flourishes, etc etc etc i see myself wanting in my gut to add. basically, i just want to doodle lots of notebooks full of doodles.

i kind of wonder if ten notebooks full of small, casual doodles equals one notebook full of fully realized work. i'm not sure which i want to do (both probably).

im just looking forward to getting tons of space to spread out, and months stretching in front of me to work on some very large drawings. drawings where a .5mm line will really seem absurd because the paper surface is so large. thousands and millions of hatching, hairy markings, and organic squares piled upon one another in pieces that stretch all the way across my living room walls / floor on and on for months.

this sort of work will be where the doodles will pay off - i'll have a lot of notebooks and sketches to mine for material / shapes / and organizational schemes. thats what i need to do, more scheming.
