Issue for closure (problem for solution) — relocate caldron fragment, Chip away at Harv’s habit to overrun thoughts into more and more scribble.
Again, Harv faces “How to build his tome” — “how to organize his tome”. He has used “tome” but that has a scholarly connotation. He steps back from scholarly and chooses “catalog”
Thus, “How does he build his write catalog?” First answer: “More carefully.”
catalog: noun: 2a: a
completeenumeration of items arranged systematicallywith descriptive details. 2c: material in such a list. Verb: to enter in a catalog. b: to classify [arrange] descriptively. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/catalog
“So Harv ! What is the system ?” For hardware it’s computers. In education — an outline. For software it’s Blogger, previously Scrivener. For Harv get a new brain — but for practicality rather use the old one — however, better.
Harv found in 2022? Blogger and in 2024 ‘took off’ as he attained 24/7 internet access — a necessity. He now instantly publishes and accesses.
His new M4 iPad is writer-different than his M2 MacBook — and he now facilitates both with iCloud in 2024.
Harv relooks and teases some outline info from Google. His come-away, “It’s creative.” “So, here I am already creative.”
Blogger use is to stay. His web site has already gone so far as a ‘kindle’ outline. He has written his first fragment and wonders / wanders where to put it into some catalog system — thus the challenge.
Perhaps he needs to build the outline [contents] ‘from the ground ‘grass roots’ up, for each/any fragment of his choice, that he ‘completes’.
