The artist distills himself out of every word

Not much to debate here except i can now see the only screen whereaz before it was 3 screens that really had be hung up, to be sure i don't have a clue what the last blog says it just is about the moment, on a whole other level. for in writing you have an idea or maybe you have a narrative and the idea becomes entwined with the narrative and the entire thing is the back and forth between the two, but that is contrived, it shows an example in a specific state which canot be transferred to other examples only compared and contrasted. the compare/contrast technique is good at pippointing instances in examples in which the moment flares up shortly, the true worth of a novel is not the novel its a sentence or wo, the problem is finding the sentence But this is only with narratives, in which mostly things simply move around and are reorganized. No more of this if progress will happen because the illusion of time is imponderable, we are slaves to time who cares if it works in mysterios way. My cat works in mysterious ways so i said ok cat you do things your way and ill do things my way and it's gonna be alright. so here with this new literature, time is something that gets no notice, who cares about what has changed, for a person's mind remainds a growing constant throughout. So not even a character you need just a word but you can't try to control that word you must subsist the temptation, you must say "i don't know what that means but maybe someone else does" each word conjures up the next like in the phrase "I....stood....down....from.....the.....podium .....because.....everyone....was.....booing................................" so, instead of looking at a man standing down from a podium because everyone's booing, instead of trying to place your own meaning on something beyond you is an oversimplication. First you must understand every word for their purpose, the purpose hidden in layers. So now I is obviously the introduction of some character, no you or I but I. ok, and he stood... nice n concrete. we get the fellow now standing, that's progression. but then the word down is confusing. Gives us a direction with a qualitative judgment on it, for up is generally good and down is bad i think. So now we got a guy who stood down.. now who'd he stand down, orwhy should he have made the movement what does this even mean? from shows direction but the is my least favorite word. the the the,as in one specific, so this shows that the action is definitely in response to a single object, podium,,, now why was he up on the podium in the first place and is it at an awards ceremony or at a lecture or what? because oh joy we're gonna be told the answer everyone, wait a minute. everyone? that words a little grandiose for a simple standing down, you'd think maybe at worst it would be the crowd, but apparently this transcends spacial reality, people know somethin we don't. booing ah, it's clear not it's the action of booing that drove our youth down from the podium, but why were they booing and were they really booing the speaker or an offcameraman, you see its words like this that evoce those offcameramen, the ones who sit behind their sunglasses and just watch and cause great thing to happen with their hands

so in the end, this sequence which would have taken less than a minute has been torn apart, that the initial order the event seemed to have was only there because we had a reasonably small selection of words, but nothing can ever be fully contained in words, only the shadows of truth, so when you rely too heavily on words you begin living in a fantasy world.
