From the lost notebooks of Dr. Fabulous: Methods of Writing. Titled: "Steps towards Invention. Notes on Writing." Scraps of papers and incomplete notebooks. Drawings left out for now. Profanity limited or cleaned up.
Reproduced from barely legible handwriting:

  • Overheard remark at department water cooler about "critical thinking." I'll teach them.
  • The feeling of being funky.
  • Wondered what would happen if Elements of Style was mixed with A Thousand Plateaus
  • Wrote angry letter to editor as part of beginning campaign against new traffic sign at end of street.
  • "How to Be Deleuze." Early pages of instructional manual. Find writer no one reads seriously anymore. Make writer central to argument. Possible candidates: John Steinbeck.
  • The Fabulous Task of Unnerving. To be a book length manuscript on the methods and stylings of Dr. Fabulous.
  • Damn cats.
  • Angry letter half-composed to Hunter S. Thompson. "Give me back my gun!"
  • Park car in neighbor's yard.
