I spent today packing for the burn, which means I went to my database and printed out a five-page list of over 160 items that I have to pull from here and yon and get them ready for transport. Since I’m using Craig’s trailer, everything has to fit onto a 6×8 rectangle. Behold! If you […]
Back to work. When last we looked in on Lichtenbergianism: procrastination as a creative strategy, I was reading through The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published [EGGYBP] and working on all the advice contained therein. Chapter 2 deals with one’s online presence and how to capitalize on that. Okay, I’ve read the chapter a […]
It seems that in the sovereign state of North Carolina, your tax dollars earmarked for charter schools are far more likely to go to a religious charter school than not. I keep thinking that if I work hard and focus on the end result, I can one day kill off my morals and scruples and […]
The labyrinth of the 3 Old Men ritual troupe: a multicursal labyrinth with four entrances/paths to the center. Each path splits twice on its way to the center, where the participant finds a temple bell he can ring and a small altar where he can leave and take small gifts. For those just joining us, […]

Today we have another book that I would want to include in any book proposal for Lichtenbergianism: procrastination as a creative strategy. It is Get It Done: from procrastination to creative genius in 15 minutes a day, by Sam Bennett. This is a really good book, folks. The author delves into many of the same […]
As I work my way through the text of my putative book on the creative process, you might like to read the rest of the text so far here. Also, the rest of my meditations on the process here. There are many ways to manage TASK AVOIDANCE. xxx <— this is my place holder for […]
As I work my way through the text of my putative book on the creative process, you might like to read the rest of the text so far here. Also, the rest of my meditations on the process here. Chapter Three: Task Avoidance The sure conviction that we could if we wanted to […]
You may dimly recall that the labyrinth walls I made last summer/fall for the 3 Old Men ritual troupe at Alchemy was a stunning success… … but it did have issues: Despite my obsessive calculations and measurements, the walls still drooped and dragged in places. For Alchemy, we just muddled through.[1] So yesterday I hauled […]
