• (last few days) nearing 20 pages of completed edited pages of scripted for The Great Falling Away.  most of the story having not been read or worked on for over 6 years, like coming back to a house you lived in once and now looking at all the details you would have taken in from the ambient sensory dazzle - wood trim, floor creaks, mild bathroom mildew, and sheet rock seams in the living room.  I remember thinking of the story and planning it out, years working on the thing, even collecting hundreds of pages of reference material in paintings, photographs, and science articles.  but cleaning up the pieces, reading it through once and then done, sometimes forgetting the next page and reading it anew, the audience for my own work.

• continual working out of process to post all pages of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... online, finally reserved to a few representative chapters, as before some years ago, but clarity into the night - all this a waste - the revisiting of pages I was content to stand as a repository, while new artifacts and efforts delayed.

• (last two days) drew incredible hulk illustration for Beckett, story idea captured in light sleeping couch moment with boys playing and watching television, tracked dream.  
• read Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity by Hugh MacLeod - nearly having me post all of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... on-line, forgoing the endgame vision of a self-published book, instead having it all out for those that come to it.  concerns over cross-checking with career efforts and the time necessary to return to book one and two as I have done so many times before when bringing to a new format or collection.

• (last few days) eight pages finished on chapter 11 of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... - nearly complete in one night after a year of (dishearteningly ironic) piecemeal momentum.  natural growth to come to the realignment of mutins, which was happening too soon when first worked out at chapter 5 or so, the rowing format just then resonating and thriving.  now I don't want to wait any longer for the listing and replicating and the whole thing liquefying.   
• tracking dreams from the boys, drawing with them - coloring as well. a few notebook entries.
