2) creation, 4) housekeeping

(last few days) several notebook entries on dreams and artifact pieces. collected photos from various devices and computers and put on my computer. organized and sorted dozens of audio files. backing up small digital recorder to computer (why do I keep using this equipment when the zoom H4 would be better for immediate uploading instead of tracking from headphone jack to mixer?). backing up all files to external hard drive. realization that soundtrack is not done for ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... book 1 - having miscalculated final running time.

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.
