PraxisPoetica II Essential Writing Process

Intro

👉 If you have no idea of what Dialectics is, and you’ve never heard of Dialectical Materialism or Historical Materialism, well, it’s time you did. It certainly fits into the “drop everything you’re doing and do that now” category. Here’s a ten-minute course made up of 11 sentences that you can take right now, prepared just for you in Brussels, Belgium by Karl Marx in 1845: Theses On Feuerbach by Karl Marx. I’m going to give it a quick read right now to make sure I know what I’m talking about. It certainly puts the praxis into our PraxisPoetica.

Read it? What ya think?

Love that eleventh sentence:

Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.

And the tenth isn’t bad either:

The standpoint of the old materialism is civil society; the standpoint of the new is human society or social humanity.

Pantsers, Plotters, Plantsers and Lajos Egri Dialectics

See Pantser, Plotter, and Plantser: The 3 Dominant Types of Writers as a starting point. Now, we’re going to go beyond that, to the question of praxis, with Lajos Egri Dialectics.

Everyone is always telling me, and in a way they’re right, to just sit down and finish the… book.

In a way, they’re right.

PraxisPoetica I Writing and Publishing Process

Intro

The first in a series of notes (see PraxisPoetica) intended as a review of the writing and publishing process ever-present during the creation of the first novel in the Denying The Amerikan Dream series Wandering Into The Promised Land. Who Promised What To Who, Now? Community Edition

The Blue Folder

Writing my first novel of the Denying the Amerikan Dream series: Wandering Into The Promised Land. Who Promised What To Who, Now? It’s spark, though, goes all the way back to the early 1980’s. In this blue notebook right here.

So, what’s inside? Here are the pages, here’s the spark and their sparks that I wrote down in the early fractal 1980’s.

Of course a lot’s changed since the early 1980’s. Some things are much more profound now, others much less. Others suffered qualitative leaps of inner tearing and others, of joy.
