Reviews: Past Blog Posts

This bit of information is intriguing and seemed relevant when I posted it so long ago; it still is relevant. (I did not post this but found it somewhere on the internet. Let me know if it is yours so that I can give you credit).  I found it while searching through my 2009 posts.  Hope you all enjoy it. 

Editor Notes on Project Oakland: Colorado County

Artist Statement: The idea of 55 Word Stories came from a book titled "The World's Shortest Stories" edited by Steve Moss.

Why limit the amount of words used for a certain piece?  The limiting of words forces me to be more creative in telling the story.   I can not waste any words in the piece.   So I am forced to juxtapose a lot of words that may not go necessarily normally together.   The 55 Word Project is my hope to tell some original stories, in a way that forces the story to come alive.  I am sure some will fail, but there will be some that flutter.  The ones that flutter could someday become a bigger story or part of a bigger story.

 I plan to write/publish 365 of them, maybe more-maybe a lot less.
My hope is that you enjoy them.

This blog is so smart! The creator (by Jessica) has illustrated complex concepts onto index cards. Each day a new concept is illustrated. I think it would be useful for all, especially in a truly visible world. We all need to be able to communicate to all those people in our world in a way that will not be wasted time. This site may help!
Thanks Gregory

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, is the book I give to those who need CPR on their dreams; (broken winged bird moments). Paulo has been very generous with this blog, offering the Warrior of Light Series Volume 1-3 for free download. The site is an aide to our soul wanderings in a backwards fallen world.
