winter 2026

---

Venturing is going well, but I’m unsure I’ll have a new discussion online by next weekend. I want the next one to be ready by then, yet being more than merely novel for the sake of a self-imposed deadline.

---

creating novel wilderness isn’t about tourism

---

prospecting more about literary creativity.

---

more away into high textual craft

---

Three more sections of a manifold exploration of “literary” dramactionality today: “being literary,” “the humanistic origin of literary texting,” and “the usual ‘“Literature’.”

My venturing will have many sections, later to be listed as a single set of cohering discussions.

---

a way into literary venturing

---

As if implicit dramaticness of daily life is as textual as real interaction can be like reading each other’s situational authorships.

---

authorship of authoriality

---

Self-differentiation through writing as speech;

self-withholding in writing for an audience through an appropriate degree of candor, etc.;

receptiveness as “reading” another person;

writing the author of a silent text: Is it perceiving, creating, projecting?

Is the inferred author (the authorship) some weird mirror of one’s capability, preference, self-begetting?—

All of that is happening in non-“literary” life.

experiencing ordinary days as almost literary

---

Today’s discussion begins a series on literary venturing.

---

intelligent design

---

Rationality should be understood relative to life-orienting Purposes
of flourishing, rather than relative to near-term goals which are means for bettering the quality of one’s life.

resorts of higher souls

---

I suppose many researchers and artists feel as if the soul of their genius destined them to find high resort away from tyranny.

---

gardening aspiration

---

“Of philological gardening” recalls themes from autumn postings
(after a hermetic preface) as practical rationale for aspirational venturing through winter’s want of spring.
