2025-9 weekly post
big week: apartment searching and (unfortunately) terrible anxiety upswell. .˙. week of low creativity
Writing
a week of revisions mostly. did line edits to my Ponce de Leon story and typed last week’s revisions of my first cigarette story up. both stories were fun to return to
also, got interest back from an agent for Kossler!, two or three weeks after i decided to give up lol. i submitted the whole text to the agent, i hope they want to represent me!
no the girl revision this week though, gotta get back to that
Other projects
none lol, see above
Books
nothing much of interest, slower week. started reading about DBT, for reasons obvious
Other
- listened to lots of post-2010 swans
- listened to a lot of Tom Scott lateral podcasts
- played a lot of zelda
- caught up with severance
2025-8 weekly post
Writing
only revised ‘The Girl’ one day this week, as I’ve been doing some story revisions for submissions: my cigarettes and my ponce de leon story, both of which (i noticed this week) pull the same sort of sudden shift into the absurd to explain abstractions. i’ve got techniques
in submissions: sent my hans story in, reading a few for another place. i actually recorded where this week, but i dont know if its like verboten to post this in the semi-public world of the blog. but i am, as they say, working now
Other projects
little of note. i was sick this week, as an excuse
Books
of interest:
- finished Solenoid, by Mircea Cărtărescu, after months. i have opinions abt that
Other
- lots of sickness and Zelda
- watching the new severances now
2025-7 weekly post
Writing
another 4 day week for ‘The Girl’; i got sick at the end of the week. we’re at the point now of highest violence now (i think), or at the very least when her personality vanishes. this is the heavy shit
in addition:
- wrote more Kossler! on my phone
- revised “Hans” for a submission. i haven’t sent it in yet, but i will this week, assuming i feel less sick soon
Other projects
- reading the pico-8 manual, for fun and pleasure
Books
of interest:
- The Haunting of Lin-Manuel Miranda: this play slaps! Ishmael Reed is indominable
- stated How To Read Nancy, which has been great
note: i oughta get to work on puttin my reading log here, as well in public. one of these days, huh
Other
- saw “His Motorbike, Her Island” as the Japan Society near the UN on Valentines day, a movie by the director of House, it was nice
in search of lost time marginalia
i’ve always drawn pictures in the margins of my books. dont know why. not gonna analyze. i’ve been trying to read proust in french this year, and as i go, checking translations again in english, i been seeing images
so: i am gonna upload them here. keep this page bookmarked. it can only be good.
