[Author Note: the reader cannot see the images originally accompanying this article. The subject was the format and appearance of custom blog layout with art I’d created for the purpose and some other funky HTML]
Something with these colors, perhaps more greens. Flowing lines, like threads or cobwebs. None of the traditional looking clicky buttons. Something in which the reader can become enthralled.
I’ll probably never publish the collection in book form, for profit or widespread dispersion. It’ll most likely go out to the world when I croak off. I’ll put that in my will, how bout that.
But here, on this medium, it can be read, hopefully appreciated by others. I’ve seen little so far that is similar to my work, so maybe it’ll be fresh. I would love to have the play-time designing images around or for each piece. Simple work, but pretty. Maybe some realization of my mind’s setting when I’m writing the stuff.
I’d like to really open the windows. Maybe someone will see something there that I’ve not seen. Maybe the work involved in compiling and constructing will open a few eyes in and of itself. I might learn something. Might very well end up with alot of new writing. Might finally finish some of the projects I’ve let sit in the shadows for years.
More than just posting thoughts, I can share my work. What good is it if I keep it where it will only gather dust, pages slowly falling apart. Gold leaf on the net will stay gold. On a book, it’ll fade or flake away.
How would you like to read the story of the Golden Beads. Or dive into Flight. Rejoice with the lords of life. Dance in the desert or fall to your knees Behind These Dunes. Or cry at the keyboard. Walk the desolation with Rowan and Rune. Watch over someone with no name, who pleads with you for protection. Fall For Me. Grow old and dance one last time with your daughter. Farewell to someone who smiled her last breath. Drift into madness or return from terror. Want something so much your muscles strain, or marvel at the gift of Breath. Would you like that? I would share my version of it.
