Regurgitations.
Panic in the building.
No, not really. Panic in the world, it seems. Oh so be it, i am, apart from the media, very insulated from it. (Apart from the oh-so-sensitive being i do possess, and it's inability to avoid lookng, but alas). Lot's of things in the world are getting a real shakeup, it seems. It is, to be honest, quite amusing to watch from afar, though that is a cynical take on it all.
But as always, i need to build myself in order to gain any traction here whatsoever, to diverge too far from that main objective wouldn't benefit anybody...
I'm weirded out, all of a sudden i don't want any bookshelves in my new house. That is far from what i expected, but it makes sense. The books in my bookshelves have over the years become too much of a passive entity. I don't take them out and read them, they just sit there and brood. THat is no way to start a new hous, with a bunch of old and familiar brooding books. Though i kind of need them to remind me where i am going. As loose as my plan and my views are it is important to remember where i've been and what i found in the literary world that resonated with my outlooks. What i do need is a mental map, a better mental map. I've tried some digital solutions for making them, but they are cumbersome to work with, sketches are best made on paper. This is a priority. When i visited Henrik in Berlin he had some mental maps built in order to make his literary skeletons more visible to himself. Adopting the same idea makes sense.
Other than that. My new living room will be a completely screen-free zone. It will be grand. Those monitors and tv-screens are real attention-suckers and i need less of them if i am to progress. (And slightly more willpower, but alas...) The laptop is allowed into the living room, but that is a machine i'm confortable working on, and that has good workflows attached to it. My desktop computer lacks these workflows, so i'll hide it in my bedroom (with a nice 27", so it won't be -that- hidden....)
I have lot's of misses in my writing now. That is something that needs to be remedied, i haven't done this in ages, and my timing is off. So is my finger-positioning. Not good....
