2) creation, 4) housekeeping

working on book 0 of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... scanning in handwritten version and finding several false starts, mistakes, and alternative constructions I had forgotten about. most relate to the handwritten version and I will include these as well. printed off book 2 at work on high quality printer, will use that copy to run-off books on work copy machine. deleted out files from zoom h4 so it is ready to go.
(last two days) a few final touches on book 2. made each chapter into a PDF file to be printed at work. uploaded files from zoom h4 into computer. archived work on external hard drive. even though I'd planned to begin working on the book soundtrack again could not resist temptation to go backwards to the prototype and benchmark versions of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... and compile them together. the quick and fulfilling work on the rear makes book 0 irresistible. scanned in prototype versions of earlier works.

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.
