2) creation, 4) housekeeping

(last month) heavy assembling and editing of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... chap 8.
working with teeple on his music, running side-by-side late into the nights.
finishing the rear - including final arrangement, editing, researching dates, finding Burroughs quote, scanning in notebook pages, early drafts, and illustrations to be used.
recording additional field sounds.
chance moments to photograph various images passing by.
recording and writing dreams.
taught ian to use small voice recorder, now records stories, running commentary, and dreams.

DAILY ARTIFACT LOG - GOAL

My artifacts are not stillborn or arrested in early development so much by unresolved planning or structural defects but instead are slowly pinched off by small stoppers and momentum-less days. The creative effort not lost to hemorrhage but leached off by the routine everyday droplets. The late arriving echo audience hardly privy to the daily toil that piles the artifacts for a lifetime before their immediate awareness, appraisal, and acquisition. Deadlines aid the effort but are product-bound and necessarily presume an audience / patron / publisher / distributor / and such.
