Found: last year’s book brainstorm.

How does one begin an undertaking as large as a novel?  The question looms over a new year and a new resolution.
 
Step 1: ascribe the various aspects of yourself to various characters.  perform the self-satisfying work of splintering the complexities of what a stranger once diagnosed as “a deeply-conflicted personality” into understandable phrases—people complicated enough to be believable, simple enough to understand.
 
Step 2: identify the central conflict.  
 
Step 3: break the central conflict into many conflicts, alliances, and divergences.  
 
Step 4: find a notebook.
 
Step 5: begin writing.

Here’s to a new year and a new endeavor.

perhaps I should revive this old thing this season.

look forward to art (pathetic), words (empathic), and repeated content (pathologic)
