• (during the last week) tracked several video segments, audio takes, and images.  notebook entries.  flood of potential released on chapter 12 of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... after months of patience - who has such nerve and willingness to let the pages marinate month after month without insisting the next piece come now, if even arbitrary and forced.  intermittent breakthrough for the next 40 pages, and some way forward for one hundred or more.

2) creation

• (during the last week) tracking panel I was a guest at to create a record so the words go as far and in the manner I want, a few notebook entries, envisioning the progression of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... as the rows list and splinter into full form, several pages coming into form, ever so gentle with the rebirth...
• tracking conversation with mom at restaurant.

2) creation, 3) community

• (today) several illustrations
• continual working out of process to post all pages of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... online, finally reserved to a few representative chapters, as before some years ago, but clarity into the night - all this a waste - the revisiting of pages I was content to stand as a repository, while new artifacts and efforts delayed.

1) identification, 2) creation

• (last two days) drew incredible hulk illustration for Beckett, story idea captured in light sleeping couch moment with boys playing and watching television, tracked dream.  
• read Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity by Hugh MacLeod - nearly having me post all of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... on-line, forgoing the endgame vision of a self-published book, instead having it all out for those that come to it.  concerns over cross-checking with career efforts and the time necessary to return to book one and two as I have done so many times before when bringing to a new format or collection.  

1) identification, 2) creation

• (during the last week) tracked Ian moments and possible ensnaring meeting with people not trusted.  captured a few photographs.  pages of illustrations in various stages of completion, primarily to warm skills and some practice with prizmacolor pens.  new swans cd arrived - such a remembering...

2) creation

• (today) small piece written.

2) creation

• (last few days) eight pages finished on chapter 11 of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... - nearly complete in one night after a year of (dishearteningly ironic) piecemeal momentum.  natural growth to come to the realignment of mutins, which was happening too soon when first worked out at chapter 5 or so, the rowing format just then resonating and thriving.  now I don't want to wait any longer for the listing and replicating and the whole thing liquefying.   
• tracking dreams from the boys, drawing with them - coloring as well. a few notebook entries.

2) creation

• (last few days) notebook entries and return to illustrating.  re-photographing of area captured before but found to be too dim and low contrast once worked through initially in editing and preparing for insertion into ...fence posts rotting in the acreage...
• (today) fascinated by  http://firstsounds.org/ 

2) creation, 4) housekeeping

• (last few days) creation of two new files that are digital versions of notebook entries so pieces may marinate some time before placement into lengthy repositories.  dream transcribed through Dragon.  back-up of laptop to external hard drive - competition of the major transfer of writings and images from music studio to portable studio.

1) identification, 2) creation

• (yesterday) treatment and editing of many photo images.  for several weeks listening to This American Life on app while working on laptop studio and finally hearing years of programming i had only occasionally heard radio broadcast.

2) creation

• (today) working with raw photos so when placing in ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... I will be able to pull each and use it without stopping the alignment and editing of rows in progress.  tracked dream.

2) creation

• (last few days) writing dreams, attempting to bypass notebook and type directly into word processor - but I enjoy the act of writing, the letter formations, the smear/slide from letter to letter wicking the ink along with metal tip, the absorption of ink partially into the paper fibers. 

2) creation, 4) housekeeping

• (today) migration and condensing of images and videos to laptop.  secretly tracking contentious meeting of special education specialists, two of whom have constricted a reality that they are looking to verify, protect, and act from though I consistently dismantle large sections while they try to move about inside.  clarity of thought and accuracy benefit me.

2) creation, 4) housekeeping

• (last few days) migrating photos from portable storage devices, computers, cameras, etc. - continuation of efforts to make laptop primary artifact repository and work station.  tracking several sounds using iphone.  

2) creation

• (last few days) transcribing notebook entries to word documents.  guitar and amp officially lost to pawn store, kind enough to call and remind me past due and I have to pass.

2) creation

• (last two days) some momentum found in moving all writing and visual artifacts to new laptop, leaving basement computer for sound studio.  found iphone app for Dragon voice recognition software and using it to transcribe notebook entries, then e-mailed to laptop, copy/paste into word document, and edited.  seemingly tedious, but my keyboarding skills, as well as looking at pages of writing while typing, is not as fast.  self-admonishment to stop writing in notebook and type material initially, especially pages of long dreams.

2) creation

• (last few days) recorded Ian dream and how he avoids dreaming.  transcription of journal entries into computer.

2) creation, 4) housekeeping

• (last few weeks) notebook entries, Kelli purchased new laptop - transfer of all writings, images, and artifacts to it - leaving basement computer solely for sound studio.  loss of baby through miscarriage - oval locket for ashes - these artifacts I do not want. 

2) creation

• (last night) hours of editing and correcting transcribed dreams from voice recognition software.  some hints of the old Burroughs' methods of random word replacement and new meaning to be teased out. 

2) creation

• (last few days) editing last 10 page span of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... chapter 11, now the first chapter of book two.  changed the opening quote to a three paragraph excerpt from Sam Harris, The End of Faith.  typing out 5 years of daydreams or so on 1980s electric typewriter - the physical motions and writing happening right then are made apparent and manifest.  such intensity to hear the motors and belts running to transmit the key-types into inked letters on the page.
