Phrases and sentences keep popping into my head and honoring the tradition of not starting until the actual time-to-start I am unable to do anything but jot them down as vague sketches in Evernote<\/a> for later retrieval. I’ve been at this for a while and some of the older notes no longer even make sense. Here now, I share with you the current basis of this year’s Nano:<\/p>\n

dots->black birds; fleeting rainbow; gray sky; his mother’s voice”<\/p>\n

“dots
persistence of dots — failed attempts to do something with dots: sheet music, scatter point graphs, candy(hah!), braille, morse code…”<\/p>\n
