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.
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.

So much to talk about with this short chapter. This the part of the book where Boris shows Blink the ropes. He’ll be training in preparation for what, he asks himself.

Here we see the adventurous young blink running along the rooftops in Alexandria. He could be anywhere in. the city. He could be looking for anyone. Or maybe he just likes getting in a little sprint in his Murakami’s, the best shoe he has ever had.

Huge shout out to my son Leo Pickard whose film, Bird’s Nest, the Mourning Dove and the Cardinal, is an official entry in Baby Teeth Film Festival in Brooklyn, New York this year. He’ll be presenting and taking questions after the film.
Please review this book on Goordreads if you’ve read it.
There’s plenty of summer left to get a copy of The Blue Diviners for your summer read list. What makes this YA fantasy different? It swaps swords and sorcery for mechs and portals. Forests and towers for flooded avenues and cyberpunk dens of monitors and specialized headgear.
Jump, swim, soar into the chaotic world of The Blue Diviners.
