Librarian of Things
Bibliomancy as the new PKM

That post was a toe-dip into into the deep waters collecting at the middle of a Venn diagram of three ideas: 1) that written culture cannot exist without copying, both as practice and as pedagogy; 2) that memoir and auto-fiction rely on creating a written copy of lived experience; and 3) you can draw on random written works and follow the passages of text that you respond to, as a means to suggest a particular path in your writing. …
