Notes Along the Elizabeth
Mr. Huth is multiple posting again, four today! How am I supposed to keep up? I think I may need a little help/more material. Peter Stinson's Notes Along the Elizabeth will now be included in my daily list of blogs to draw lines from. I must remember to leave an e-mail or comment for both my new contributors and any future ones to let them know what I'm doing and seek their blessing to carry on. Theoretically I could just use peoples line without their permission, as posting on a blog makes the work available publicly, but I would much rather this project was a coming together of initially unknowing contributors than an enforced collaboration.
The posts now have a greater variance in length and are beginning to seem much more like the missing pages (or at least a paragraph) from the non-existent book that Mr. Huth has been footnoting so diligently.

4thra,
My apologies about the number of postings per day. I write as many as occur to me, tho sometimes I think I post too many--I think that some aren't really good enough. My rule is at least one post a day.
And the change in the style and complexity of "Finish This" is quite remarkable, and you often do a surprisingly good job of stitching together various posts into one. You've pulled up some great old one from "Lyn Hejinian's My Life" (which is not, by the way, written by Lyn Hejinian herself, the author of the book "My Life").
Geof
No worries on the number of posts - it increases the number of possible stories and I enjoy reading them. I was just having a lazy-girl-whine!
Finish this has got much more complex, its getting harder to keep tabs on the source of the lines as I'm starting to repeat some of them to heap meanings upon meanings. I'm still looking for where to take this next. Todays entry, http://finishingthis.blogspot.com/2004/12/380.html, links not only through repetition of line but also through the narrative, although I'm worried that this is forcing the reader in to one particular meaning and route through the blog.
Anyway, enough.
Keep reading and writing,
yours,
Rachel.
