And The Difference is, July 8
New look here on substack is pretty I think. tho admitteldy organization on it is somewhat abstruse
None of the names of the literary newsletters say what the difference is…. I need to work on that —-
Whats here now, are topics in language that I have run across, and treat as a comedy?
Something about it remains plunderful blunderful, and as such, clandestine? openly caught in a crude substructural abruption of categories as arose around the writing.
It is not about giving into design? I liked being a designer too…
For me theres a real push and pull between design training, creative and conversant but clean, readable…. etc. which is basis for what i have set up here now on home page, the pretty side to my junkyard dog…
Writing persists, as a sympathetic and yet treacherous sweep up in the poetic granularity of language. That surprises the hell out of me —
My own writing scares me, so I have to attack it, humiliate the fear.
Oh and the naysayers at the watch spring.
Treble rebel voices who seek to abnegate the surface — reject its hold over me…
Fill instead time with words and gesture.
And everywhere, there are scolds in the fertilizer...
About writing being draft with emptiness…. a mere fiction, skulking after intensities —
I write into the depths because thats where my soul devours its presence in time and meaning.
Writing or no its there and hounds me —
So, e-o-d, I say yes.
Substack Design Dept July 6
1/ Redesigning substack again.
2/The daddios…. thats connected to the auditor
Trying to pull substack together. Presently a mish mash of research upon the literary, set free to gorge on its own discoveries, some sketches I have tracked down time to do, literary comments and links to poetry and books.
Lately exploring substack also as literary and poetry link spot with commentary in my Chronica.
Verily, thinking to reduce number of notebooks cause they are all the same in a way, its an ethic somehow that floods through in sequences.
Designing on Substack
I have now redesigned substack at least six times, playing inventively with the Home Page design options. Theres always something new to learn. Substack is upgraded consistently over in the Design Dept.
Planning to do a “how to” re “design options” for the Home Page first. Then for the Sections.
The Daddios
The daddios…. thats connected to the auditor for me. When I hooked up with the Joyce monster, started to hear his being able to follow — what I was up to and decipher the elbows.
That became a core method for me with respect to listening for the things….
Gonna do a thing wing on daddios. Fem schematics of daddy long legs — task to bask in freedoms compelled to negotiate…
For me it really is also: a marcel goblins irresistance to treas, that tenderly meandering enumerates along the language line.
Think of other peoples work as raining down on my water buckets catching Lucy from drowning once again with the canabulls. Deer in headlights.
Its ok to go camping even if you fail to compromise — and really just want to share a beer.
Methinks my substack isnt set up for teaching. But for research, literary commentary, thinking and stawking outloud, digging around in this here gigs of humanity, and sometimes, where find a way in, sharing some thoughts on poetry, on language and writing.
Windflowers July 5
Forever Itemizing
finished ambi. deadline? start by making list on line, like before but this time really listy. based on his prerogatives and my interest in it…
then when ready to start nailing down an edit — do what did on the novel — pull offline, and indecently go after, as a singularity thing really into itself…
sample ambi, I dont know. somekindof scholarly corner…..LATER. maybe babies…
and then send out. to where. ohh I’ll start where I last left off…. PR for novel, Terri and maybe RS.
Mind Power
I hope you guys dont mind me including quotes that you put up, as well as discussing about stuff on your sites, to use all in my Lit Ur Airy Chronica is what it is thats all it is — how many times a day to you have to say: get over yourself.
It is what it is.
The usage thing comes out of a movie. with cary grant.
I really like engaging around words and people talking about what they do when writing.
As a take your share in the mystery. Un a bash shed…. I will swear? well yeah. girls who swear… it is what it is.
Positive thinking. what it is is what it is.
its the bunnies in their underwear. visiting neighbors. I think of language as the wear under plunder asunder as thats where the eclipses languaged up and now its anoose.
yes bridge of sighs, the noose thing is one of the impossibbles, hanging out with Marcel itemizing? what —- philo yeah an organizing relationship with its flirtations unto deaths kinda run by z in my sock it to me drawer, yeah organizing using time values. James phrasing makes it into liquid in sponge…
poetically intook, is it a cross between marcel and clarice on time — its palavered in “bunny time”, time as a char poetically thirsty ?
its more translucent than clarice, pyscho deliriums — cant touch marcel where he is no no no. thats not it.
its has to do with stuff Saunders talks about….where listen to the windflowers
“Windflowers grow underground from tubers or rhizomes to form small colonies.”
get back to novel.
