The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, students, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

there you are self cleaning writing board with that feeling of frozen moment
but on more poetic side how.... Shakespearean
Note the lack of overshoots and the disharmonious widths. ‘G’ is relatively small, ‘z’ is non-descending. The spur on ‘ſ’ was moved down the stem, in order to avoid a collison with the preceding ‘a’.
In memory of a fellow light painter Gareth Brooks, gone too soon.

SOOC, apart from some slight tone curve tweaks
Production notes in case anyone is interested...
I filled a white bowl with water, and then clamped the pen with the nib just over the water, as close as I could get it without touching. The camera was in burst mode on a tripod, and the main light source was a cheap table lamp pointing at the water. I then poured additional water from a jug into the bowl - as the water level reached the nib the ink started to run out, and I started taking shots. I jiggled the bowl to get some movement in the water. These swirls were the result.
I had initially tried gently lowering the pen down into the water but it was impossible to keep sharp focus. Luckily it occurred to me to bring the water up to the static pen. Also, the draining board in the kitchen is now much cleaner than it was, after removal of a small amount of spilt ink.
I wasn't happy with the results of this, but thought I'd post it anyway

Day 59/365 It's a thousand pages, give or take a few,
I'll be writing more in a week or two.
I can make it longer if you like the style,
I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
Well, truthfully, the fact that I'm wearing socks has NOTHING to do with writing, but hey, it sounded cool.
I am finally trying to do something with my life that doesn't involve taking care of other people. SO! I've started doing research for a fantasy novel I've wanted to write for ages. Leslie was supposed to be writing her time capsule, but she didn't want to do it, so she took pictures of me instead.
So, this is me whoring it up for Ms. Leslie, because... er, well, we don't usually need a reason, really ^_^
