THUR 8/20
hello world, i am so buried in this end of woodshed moment
so im working the novel right and im generating all this new text
which is incredibly frustrating cause its bad text and i feel like im spinning my wheels
but im trudging thru when i realize i got about 2, 3 weeks left in woodshed so i think at
least get a draft of the hoodoo book of flowers done, my wouldbe african american holybook
so im thinking about a week or two i turn those notes i got now into rough text, count it as a win
i do not have to tell you how this turned out, im dug in now, i want my draft, so its going to
complicate the beginning of my schoolhouse year cause i want my draft and also im
putting a truncated early draft version online, ima basically use rootwork.com to do that
ive had that url for almost 2 decades, from earliest years of the net and i copped it and
have refused to let it go, now i got use for it, ima put the hoodoo book of flowers online
even though i know whatever you put online you just giving it away and folk will steal et al
but such is life of the intellect in the digital world, i want it to be part of the dialogue, so out you go
still working on the book version as work of art so this will also be like marketing
right now trying to establish a collaboration with charles bibb for imagery like the piece above
hopefully that will pan out, its become an integral part of the vision but if
not, one takes the punch and keeps pushing, it will be a lesser work but such is life
i feel good though because this draft will be a working draft, still will have a lot of
work to get done but these days the point is to leave a viable work for when the
clock strike done on you, something i can die on, my days are no longer given
