There's a couple of things that needs to be said today.
First of all, positive thoughts are appreciated for my dog today. He woke up with a random hurt back and I'm a nervous wreck about it, my poor baby.
Second, a big huge thanks to www.flickr.com/photos/shizu_bara/ for linking the instructions for the pencil and notebook tutorial!!

UPDATE--
Winston has a sprained back. Not surprising knowing how jumpy he is! He'll be better after a week of anti inflammatory medicine :)
William Forsythe and Kendall Thomas, who collaborated to produce Human Writes, spoke to reporters at the Geneva Press Centre February 23, 2012 ahead of the performance at the United Nations in Geneva that evening organized by Geneva and Frankfurt based dance companies and Antigel.ch. The performance is designed to promote reflection on the history of human rights and the obstacles that prevent their full implementation. The use of the movement arts will bring to life the document that has guided the commitment of the United States and the international community to protect human rights since its adoption on December 10, 1948: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

write me a postcard
a note
a letter
I can't promise I'll write back
but maybe it'll spur something in my heart
I wrote one word over and over and OVER.
in·ef·fa·ble
adjective
Too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words
- the ineffable natural beauty of the Everglades
Not to be uttered
- the ineffable Hebrew name that gentiles write as Jehovah
This word is very special to me. It reminds me, as a writer, that not everything can be expressed with words or SHOULD be expressed with words. It also reminds me that I should always appreciate those things that are too beautiful or magical for words to describe. I am planning on getting 'Ineffable.' tattooed on my wrist. I couldn't think of a better word to use on this page.
In my early days, I drew with whatever block of colors I could find (whether it was plastic, a block of wax, or crayons). When I grew a little older, my parents bought me markers to play with. After they found me marking up the walls in the house, they decided they'd switch me to colored pencils. When I started elementary school, I learned how to write with pencils. As I grew older, I learned to love mechanical pencils because they would always win in pencil fights. Also, they offered the precision I needed when drawing plots and writing math equations. In college, I fell in love with ball-point pens. Notes stayed preserved when written with ink. When drawing gate logic diagrams and plots in pen, it was easier to draw with finer tipped pens.
When I started working, I found the office supply cache filled with pilot pens. Then, I realized it was easier to take digital notes and so I bought a wacom tablet. When I bought an iPad, I switched to writing on a new medium. Now I've grown lazy and don't bother writing. The majority of my writing now is code..
While not the best advice to give an alcoholic, the spirit of the phrase is a great way to defeat writer's block.
Not all of your prose will magically flow onto the page in perfect order. So just write something, the crappier and more senseless the better. You'll find it self-correcting, starting to flow. Go with it until it seems like you're forcing things. Then stop.
You can always cut and paste later, move it around. Read it out loud and say to yourself, "wow, what was I drinking?"
Just show up at the page.
