2) creation

(today) Prismacolor pencils arrive, 132 pencil set, lush colors - will be used when doing daily illustrations for kids to become comfortable with them for other illustrative work. Editing on chapter 10 and 11 of The Great Falling Away and finished on both. Debating whether to follow plotting I have in place for chapter 12 and 13 or return to original plans of only 12 chapters, losing some sections I want and have written. Illustration for kid in class, hesitant and uneasy about women superhero pose, but after starting, quickly a decent sketching. New CD by Low, Trust, arrives and listening now. Some outlining notes on teacher book.

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.
