1) identification, 2) creation, 3) community, 4) housekeeping

(Last few days) photographing journals to archive source materials. Two journals completed, three more to go.  Backing up writing took almost two days, backing up sound files took over three days; labeling my studio computer as a legacy machine is a kind understatement. Attempting to install scanner software on laptop computer but no success.  Refining outline of teaching book and filling in some material.

1) identification, 2) creation, 3) community, 4) houskeeping

(last few days) streamlining studio to bare essentials and moving upstairs to armoire that can be closed up and hidden completely.  Some recognition the effort to turn large portion of basement into studio was a disservice to creative process and more about the image of having the space than actually usability.  Now the setup is similar to other times when I have been more productive with music.  Some hope here.  Discovering external hard drive had gone unstable and no backups of artifacts now existed.  Bought a new one, began backing up studio computer today, writing laptop tonight or tomorrow.  Watching Dexter (season 6) and American Horror Show (season 2).  Some success on Twitter posts, building community.  Naquin sending me new methods and efforts in images he will apply to cover for ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... book cover and musical accompaniment album (http://timcoalman.bandcamp.com/).  Tracking dreams in smartphone.

1) identification, 2) creation

(last two days) Tedious and incremental progress on full scripting of...fence posts rotting in the acreage... chapter 13.  Contact with Naquin with breakthrough on his work for covers to book and album cover.  Watching American Horror Story season 2 - the opening title sequence soundtrack vivid electricity.

1) identification

(today) Photographing exceptional pages of Carl Jung's The Red Book for reference.

2) creation

(last two days) Finished proofing copied journal pages, then crumpled and burned original pages, photographing both.  Tracked dream and various floating ideas.

2) creation, 4) housekeeping

(today) Quote from the boys written.  Website maintenance.  Trimming and modifying protective case for smartphone to remove filter screen, remove cross-brace, trim speaker edging, and create unified/larger opening from stock grouping of sound holes.  Finished rough scripting of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... chapter 13.

2) creation

(last two days) Tracked conversation with mom.  Reading transcribed journal pages from steno pad for accuracy.  Filming various student projects.
