1.
charm, value, ethic tactic
and gender, in writing
-
- 2.
-
- what is always transmitted is the quality of a mind
- precisely transmitted is the quality of the moment writing
-
- revision mixes times revised writing
is writing by more than one person
-
- 3.
-
- reading scans through to the rules someone is writing by
-
- the writing isn't done in language, it's done in something
like gesture, from a hovering behind, like 'noting'
-
- what's noticed is experience (political, erotic, sensory),
nerve, acuity, solitude
-
- the rules I write by, those i'm in reference to now, those i remember
struggling in, undiscussed: familiar unspoken suspension
in a space of charges
-
- rules keep up with ability so they're next to impossible
-
- that is tactical but not felt as tactical; it is felt as
ethical/technical absolute other writers are judged by
-
-
- 4.
-
- certain other peoples' work is there alongside like a terminal whose
other pole is what i have to write, my own time
-
- unending tension in relation to home language and school language
-
-
- 5.
-
- wanting everything to be what it is
-
- anger to be anger given to the person desire
to be desire given, seduction to be successful
-
- memory to be precisely memory, fantasy to be precisely
fantasy
-
- the intuition in fantasy to be known for what it is
-
- writing to be whatever it can be when it is no longer a displacement
-
-
- 6.
-
- 'built by the extremely delicate decisions of conscience'
-
- the whole of the writer
-
- 'writing inside the hologram already formed'
-
- 'an embodiment of values & responsiveness'
-
-
- 7.
-
- structuring concerns having to do with the history of a genre are
a death
-
-
- 8.
-
- any phrase contexts itself
- a phrase has a world implied
-
- 9.
-
- if writing grips there is something real in it, but look carefully
-
- the pleasure in attractive writing is information like the information
in sexual attraction it signals that something there
is worth perpetuating; but it can be perpetuated without
ever being recognized
-
-
- 10.
-
- it is better for a meaning to be read than to be passed on unread
as a striking or 'beautiful' thing
-
-
- 11.
-
- what attracts in writing is often an unconscious recognition, unrecognized
homology, underreference
-
- to: body parts or function, sexuality,
the life span, undiscovered physical law,
unarticulated experience structures (these
may amount to the same thing)
-
- imagination likes what refers to itself
-
-
- 12.
-
- the sexuality writing works includes powerfully:
birth and the long consciousness before birth, which was
previous to language and now, stranded behind language, tries
to make its way through into the sort of memory that is made in language
-
-
- 13.
-
- the personal body, the interpersonal network,
the locale, maybe the larger bodies, whole earth,
universe and further, seem to transmit in the
writing of some who experience themselves as persons, writing
as persons
-
- writers can write what they themselves don't know or misread
-
- i want to know what is being said through me and by
whom, for whose use
-
- i also want the elation of writing beyond myself
-
-
- 14.
-
- the glamours possible in writing are used politically as
seduction: to slip (unconsciously) the image
of the self (unconsciously received) into the other
to install one's own time in the other
-
- the image and knowledge of oneself installed in the other is a transmitter,
receiver vitality and information can pass
through i.e. it can be used vampiristically
or perhaps benevolently
-
-
- 15.
-
- those who are connected 'psychically' whether
or not they know each other seem to work for or with
each other and to have information about each other's work and state
-
- the information may be oddly coded and is often misunderstood
-
-
- 16.
-
- there always has to be more precision in writing than I know the
reason for, because another range of consciousness
can see what i can't now see
-
- there's no possibility of getting it all, but if the few traces
are accurate the rest will be accurately implied
-
-
- 17.
-
- the relation of hand and voice, voice and undervoice,
when these separate: i know hardly anything
about this except that there is a dialogue in writing where
it happens,
