So these are signs and one flyer generated by some AI program. First three are from a gas station highlighting their food offerings. The other flyer is from a car wash and would you look at those bubbles! And here is the classic “what are those?” meme https://youtu.be/HNtz05bhI1k?si=lMW1gBPLyTXQVH_T
Next Sunday, we’ll release Chapter 5.
Kim Pickard showed her weaving at The Wild Wild Weft weaving show at the Grand Theater in Lewisville. The event was fantastic showcasing a wide range of weaving techniques. Her weaving Safely Tucked Away, was displayed right up front and looked gorgeous on the wall. Learn more at The Wild Wild Weft. Also check out her Instagram @kimberdavispickard
So I’ve decided to move in a different direction and write a more personal novel. This will be about growing up in Houston as the child of divorced parents. It’s anchored by my exposure to a wide range of movies and…well…father figures. I’ll put updates here. Or I’ll just write the darn thing.
We saw The Social Reckoning last weekend. I was impressed by the power of words as action. The opening altercation turned Facebook post, felt like watching a train wreck powered by dialogue. In some ways the MSI, meaningful social interactions, featured in the story arc, demonstrates the battle between words and imagery. I enjoyed the journalism heavy story balanced against the data science innovation that seems to now be powering our national economy. The Hepburn and Tracy homage between Jeremy Allen White and Mikey Madison was fun to watch. It hankered back to another time in cinema and kept the mood light during times of darkness. My takeaway, God bless the whistle blowers who alert us all to the forces that would undermine our genuine human interactions.
Fixing broken links on the website. My video disappeared on Vimeo, so here it is on YouTube. I trekked to the top of a hill in New Mexico near Taos. I came across this cool medicine wheel made from Quartz.
Message me if you come across this site. It’s very “Atlas Obscura” to me.
This is my first wording in a series of wording posts.
I plan to put something here with letters that form words and or combinations of words that will in turn form stories or articles or poems or essays or any number of things really.
While some muse, I word.
And what that really means is that I am using this space to create with words. As a video editor, I spend most of my time with video footage. But as a new writer, I do not have the practice of manipulating words the way I do with footage on a timeline.
So this is a practice space, as I develop my writing skills.
Will be awkward at first, but fun always.
