I write a document first, so I can see the whole thing more easily as I free write and edit, and then cut and paste to the Web, adding things like italics and links then.

This piece awoke too much response for a mere comment so I ended up blogging it. (Scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday.) But please take my blogpost as conversation directly with you.

Really sweet image of three-year-old you determinedly playing out happenstance over and over. I can picture it clearly.

I’m interested whether you write direct to keyboard, or in longhand? (or shorthand?)

No thanks. I’ll stick with Ian Suttie and John Bowlby, who thought we actually interact with one another.

One of the things that makes Wittgenstein a real artist to me is that he realized that no conclusion could be more horrible than solipsism. — David Foster Wallace

Not that I know squat about Wittgenstein, but I like what David said.

In the form of someone else. Face it, when you’re three, how much do you know about anyone else? Nothing, but what’s filtered through your own consciousness and prejudices. Remember that insipid line of Woolf’s, about a mirror reflecting twice as large?

Autos filios autos.

Autos eros autos?
