well mccain has done it again, some folk say he don't deserve props because of this and that but i am a firm believer in redemption and i got to believe he is trying to get right with god before he go, trying to insure his legacy is one he can truly be proud of, ima give props to him and collins both - she who never wavered - sometimes humanity make me so damn proud
that beat just then made me think about a discussion we been having in my creative nonfic class about when work get corny and beats in works we have decided venture into corny are the very beats when the writer has taken a leap of emotional faith and tryiing to work the ihgher registers and when i did
that - sometimes humanity makes me so damn proud bit i was very conscious of venturing on dangerous ground but its only when you allow yourself to step out there on dangerous ground do you have a
chance to work the higher registers, fuck it, let it roll
but it has to be essentialist, and you have to have prepared the ground
schoolhouse got me running, have not been able to keep up my own work, im like chroniocally behind daily schoolhouse
i will have to try harder, i have to get my work done couple of quick beats: jimmy kimmel vid on cassidys bill and his moral character, so moving, so critical
we see now why trump cut the deal w/schumer on debt et al to free up the time to run zombiecare thru before sept 30
DONT KNOW WHEN THIS WAS DONE
i might be coming back into the game maybe not, seems everyday i get just a little more desperate - nice quote from geo saunders on art, geo is living that life i want, good production, respect in his lilfetime, playing his guitar on colbert writing film script versions. im so envious cant think of anybody who deserves it more
except me
ive tried a couple of times to get geo to sit down and make some music now he so busy rolling it will likely be impossible, hes up for the booker for bardo, ima burn a candle for him the stronger his coattails the better
im playing that mbira every day a couple of hours im getting better every week seems like but i want to be good, i want to write songs, i want so much
i want to finish this novel
im just cleaning up weak beats now squeezing writing time wherever i can under semester battlefield conditions
i question its overall value now but at this point i just dont care, i just want to finish it, publish it, move on
"Anybody who’s fully put their whole life into their art, it’s very useful to just be in the presence of their work, to remind yourself how serious this is. Art is not a hobby or something you should do lightly, it’s something you have to pour your entire being into in order for it to sit up and notice you.
You can’t phone in anything, you have to really bring your whole being here and work. Especially when it’s something you’re doing as “a job”, you can show up to the desk and be half asleep. Only half there. And I think that’s how you give your artistic power away: by treating it as a mundane thing instead of a sacred thing."
back at the schoolhouse and trying to get out of my woodshed head so i have not played my mbira in a while and was concerned i had lost my chops, pulled it out today and instead i have reached new
plateau, i can just play it now and it sounds good so i dont have to be all sweating it and can concentrate on the songs now
then i always try new keys and chords and today i tried to speak with it, to call and respond wordage and i mostly failed but ima make it work by doing it over and over and over and sometimes i made it talk and even when i didnt make it talk i got new licks
out of it, i cant wait to master the talking mbira
wrote a creative nonfiction piece so powerful it scares me, got to decide if im writer enuf to put it out there
brer rabbit is available, i got to start booking gigs
im gone, all my love

on road to delta, family issues i have put off, got to maintain schoolhouse, got to maintain production on my novel, plan is novel mornings, schoolhouse days, so far so good, planned 5 pgs a day, averaging 3 but thats on the road
one thing about still working is that im still growing as a writer cause of it creative nonfiction class is blowing my literary mind, just researching my reader its like a whole new world has been opened to me and i see what fiona was looking for, that vulnerability thing that dont work for a holybook
i got no problem doing that, in fact i restrain myself from doing that because i dont deem it sufficiently humble but me me me come easy to me, i will allow some of it into novel but the holybook is designed different, its life precepts and they have to be delivered with divine and even sacred confidence
me me me in my prophetic head would be serious overkill
but here on rootsblog ima compact more than i generally do and let this become my own version of creative nonfiction (& eventually text)
mojo rising 2.0
also going thru old posts and extract the goodstuff, all this w/creative nonfiction text on my aspiration to literary prophecy in mind -
