Illustration Friday: Alphabet

Language is the dress of thought. ~Samuel Johnson

Here’s another thought to address

From lexicographer Laurence Urdang: …an “enchiridian of arcane and recondite sesquipedalian items will appeal to the oniomania of an eximious Gemeinschaft.”
Translation: Certain exceptional types like to buy collections of big, unusual words.

The above alphabet-inspired illustration was rendered by yours truly with a brush pen, then scanned and modified in photoshop.

On Your Mark, Get Set…

Go for it! It’s the first day of the Fast Draft September Challenge on Verla Kay’s Blue Boards. Here’s my report:

My goal for the month is 30k from scratch. Today, I wrote 1050/30,000.

I am writing 2-3 pages of my SFD (sloppy first draft) every single day this month. My daily progress will be posted on the Blue Boards. If I’m feeling especially motivated, I might do a sketch or two related to the story. I’m working on a middle-grade novel.
