HOW DO I get my book together. Do I build it here — or on my site. Site is semi-private, requires registration to read a lot of it.

I will have to open EVERY file and copy. There’s over 100/ I could compile there and bring here. Or compile here and give samples there.

WTF.

I do have more control over there. But I think I would rather write it here. Confusion. Or just do it in Scrivener. And keep here and there as places to promote… Its not about promotion, its about the writing.

Tenderness to language is insinuated to a certain extent by who I write around. And I like that that happens. Stealing always shocks me.

The way I have my books set up over there, no longer makes sense to me. And yet some of it still does. Letters to Epididymus. Change title, to what?

Panda I call Pinky — wants to think of Title through ideas about merch. But I have a hard time accepting its simplicity. Letters to Epididymus is, in part, a nonsense title. All of my titles espionage with a stutter of : Nonsense Maniacal-ness…

SET UP

How compile… book.

How’d u guys — who already pubb — bring together into a do bee.

How art of collecting, itself becomes a topic, of slippery intent. GOT TO DO GOT TO DO. I wont be able to see it if I dont do it. As a Singular.

Determined book be an : in betweeny = inbetween sublit and tell the story narrative. Or, as they say, let story tell itself.

My stories don’t tell themselves — they just exist, as doubles and bubbles and raids of mythic dizzyness. A pile on of accumulation, that exerts itself through forces of lang, quibbling with death and the prismatic.

I love to play around lang with the Hi’rish. Their’s are mixies. I go stocking for syllables, every line, every time, I search etymology as a performance on the meta ? Yes.
