2) creation

delivered book 2 to teeple. he called later to say he enjoyed it better than the first, having read book 1 for years, at least three different versions of it. his comments instilled some doubt as to continuing the book 0 effort - going back over all the prototypes and early drafts. this sentiment supported by my computer, which froze up with nearly every copy and paste effort in assembling handwritten pages in book 0. take these two as signs and moved on to book 3.
(yesterday) wrote dream in notebook, filled up last pages of the notebook.

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.
