6/30 p3
coffee — the scratchy sound of the pen that permeates these notes —
these little elements that go into the writing of a book — that are the essence of the writing of the book —
(all these words are wrong — what do I do — do I rewrite and waste words — I hate wasting words —
(relating) — (the permanence of these written words — the way words disappear into a word —
nothingness from a word processor
what happens in the mind when I think of something to write —
some lines that I don’t write and then forget — is it analogous to the word processor —
simply gone — or are they still there somewhere — some void in the brain —
lost thoughts sucked up like light into a black hole — held by their own density —
my writing tends to get lost in parentheses (Simon - see Simon) —
part of the writing consists in backtracking to find out where I was
(Bachelard on space & time) — (the story of the writing has to relate to what I am reading while writing)
things that permeate these notes
these writings — get out of this aside —
(these asides))) — in and out
the possibility thought of over and over again
of structuring a book out of sections such as this that I am now writing
organizational problems
possibilities
(disorganizaional
problems / possibilities)
(organs)
(ideas of page structure)
this spurt type of writing I go through
I write several pages and then fade out —
organs
orgasms
analogies

my eyes fade out — insert this there (for the fun / hell of it)
there is here - from p3797 — the first and the last>
