images of the writer — an image I was going to try to insert earlier of spirals lost threads — fragments out of place — the overlays that will probably be added at different times — sound of birds — the idea or image that I can’t really verbalize or visualize of the contracting and expanding spiral simultaneously for example this idea of the autobiography catching up with itself and contracting or expanding at the present — both the ingoing and the outgoing one seem appropriate — this idea of in and out expansion/contraction is a good metaphor for a lot of what I think and do

a long pause 11:10
I think and I don’t do
back to reading

back to writing 11:20 — reading from The Mind’s I read pp19-24
biographical details — my mind was more on this book (this vague (concept?) of a book than on that book — this and that cycle
thought from yesterday on pieces becoming {the/an} entire book
idea to write a book that cycles on the color grey - black white and grey — use different shades of print — the book as essentially black and white
Butor is important here
theories on the novel
continuation and disintegration of the novel form
novel - poetry - non-fiction — blend
this segment which has nothing to do with the color grey could be part of that book or this book — (that and this the same — fragments of each other
