Q: The Buzzard Cult must have gone through withdrawal in December, with no entries to read at The Daily Bulletin.
A: I felt bad not posting to my web site.
I felt like I was letting my readers down.
Q: All three of them.
A: I’d say it’s closer to 5-10.
Q: If I go to a website and they have stopped posting—have gone on hiatus—I never go back.
It’s a sign of incipient burnout.
A: I’m just old, and had mechanical difficulties.
I can’t keep up with the technology.
Q: Some small press writers never made the transition to computers.
A: I know. I kept up until recently.
I think a weblog—or an online journal (OLJ)—was literature, if it was written by a writer who conceived of what he was doing as creating a body of work—an oeuvre-complète.
Indeed, it was the only place left for an author to create an oeuvre complete, in these heathen days.
Q: And in Double-Sawbuck (XX): Twenty Months of Daily Typewriting, you are just going to complete 40-Year Run.
A: Yes. The good lord willing and the creek don’t rise.
Q: Not as a blog, or not even as an online journal (OLJ), but just as the form the work assumed, doing it, online, daily, in real time: daily typewriting.
A: Yes.
I’ve been doing
it since
Books I’ve read, movies I’ve watched, recipes I cooked.
Fish I caught and ate.
I remember every fish I ever ate. In fact, I remember every fish I ever caught.
Q: You can’t even remember all the books you wrote.
A: No, but I can look it up.
