Litographs are artwork made up from the text from books. These spectacular works of art can use up the entire text of a book to create a 24″ x 36″ poster. When I first saw these images, I was amazed. When they released “The Last Unicorn”, I knew I had the perfect mother’s day gift.
Every “dot” isn’t a dot, it is a letter.
Litographs can be ordered on at www.litographs.com.
In April, I managed to hit my goal of 10,000 words in a story. I was pleased with my progress and hope to continue the story in May.
Alanis Morissette wrote Jagged Little Pill after breaking up with Dave Coulier. You know, the guy who played Joey on Full House.
I don’t know how she found the energy. Have you seen that guy?
I am getting ready for Camp nanowrimo in April. Check out the site for Camp nanowrimo and set your goal. I selected 10,000 words.
Last year, I bought my wife a computer. It was mid-June. By the start of August, I realized that I would never get to use it. I took a seat and installed Dropbox to transfer some files and songs to my laptop. I figured it would take an hour or two for Dropbox to transfer all the files to my laptop.
My wife hovered over my shoulder, nervously. This was the longest she had been off the computer lately. Convinced I was going to break it or, perhaps install Linux, she sat right next to me, watching my every move.
I couldn’t work with her hovering, so I said “All yours. I do need to get some music for my laptop, later.”
As I walked away, my wife gripped me in the biggest bear hug, ever. I managed to turn around in time to get a kiss and a “I love you so much!”
Outwardly, I rolled with it and smiled. Inwardly, I was concerned about my wife’s new and deep-seated computer addiction. She released me and skipped back to the computer.
“I love it!” she shouted, over strains of Alphaville’s Forever Young.
No matter how concerned I became or how strange my wife became, I would continue to smile. It seemed safer that way.
“You picked every single one!” she said as BNL blared from the computer.
A few minutes later she said, “And you got them in the right order. But can you fix this?”
I nodded, which is always my default response to crazy. I leaned over her shoulder.
“What can I do?” I asked. That sounded very non-specific and appropriate.
“How do I rename a playlist?” I looked over her shoulder. “Name it ‘Birthday’.”
Epic Song List
Baffled, I said “Your birthday is tomorrow, so I hope you don’t think that is your gift.” Of course, I received a much smaller hug for that comment.
Later that night, I confirmed my suspicions. When I gave up the computer, I was in the middle of creating a playlist for myself. One of us must have dragged the “Top 25 Most Played” songs into my new playlist.
Epic play(list).
I had an epiphany today. President Obama is Zaphod Beeblebrox.
This month is National Novel Writing Month and I have decided to go all in. Not only am I writing, I am posting all of my work right here. The goal is to write 1,677 words a day and by the last day of November, at least 50,000 words.
I am well on my way with 7,620 words in just four days.
I hope you read along with me, but please be kind. Each day’s session is recorded in the National Novel Writing Month tab above. At the speed I am writing, there is no time for editing, outlining or planning.
One additional warning: I usually don’t touch on adult themes or language on my blog. For this project, I am breaking my own rules.
November is National Novel Writing Month. This year I am in it with a story called The Abdicators.
I may make this novel available under the bookshelf tab above. I am not sure yet.You can follow my progress on the site nanowrimo.org.
My course work involves reading on various topics in short, frantic bursts. Almost like reading a blog.
Here are some of my new favorite blogs to read:
Simply Straightforward
CrossCountry Adventures
One Astronomer’s Noise
