In this brief essay, I share some experiences of writing 'to find something out' by focusing on a process that I have deployed in three narrative experiments inspired by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's  figuration of the rhizome-a process that I characterize as rhizosemiotic play. My 'reports' of these experiments are available elsewhere, and my intention here is simply to demonstrate some textual strategies that I use in performing such experiments, with particular reference to the generativity of intertextual readings of selected fictions in catalyzing them.
