Jogger: in extremely small shorts: muscular, tall, thin, tan.
Idea: that I’d wanted to become an “author” and become a “character.”
Recalled: JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A CHARACTER DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE CHARACTER had said Harvey Keitel.
Analysis: having character is to being a character as being an author is to being an author’s character. Idea (revisited): no I hadn’t wanted to become “an author” but I had wanted to “write something” which implies becoming an author.
(What Socrates would say: or do we say it’s possible, O best of men, for a person to have authored something without having been an author?)
Stupid: “If you look around the room and don’t see a character, you’re a character.”
Random Shakespeare: How can he know what he is and be that he is?
Observed: man jaywalking in front of the approaching Sheriff’s car, “which I feel awkwardly about — Flaunting it.”
Odd experience: I don’t react to something I’ve been startled by — a sudden siren from an emergency vehicle — and that startling energy, absorbed, contained, supercharges me somehow. (Idea: that’s what it is to be cool, being charged through non-reaction.)
