Save for a day of pretty heavy rain, we've been spared the effects of the latest storm. We were in the path of the storm coming through the Midwest that would eventually combine with another storm to form Nemo. As a result of the rain, we lost all of our snow, and now our world is filled with the dreary browns and greys of a snowless landscape.
DaVaun Sanders has just posted his revision to "The Seedbearing Prince" on Amazon, and as his editor, I'm very pleased with the results. He's a young man who had a promising career in architecture, but when his business closed in 2008, he decided to become a full time writer. This is his first book.
Not as promising, but a lot of fun is a new book that I'll be ghostwriting for from a woman in Australia who has a brilliant imagination, but tends to write in a photographic style, rather than the flowing cinematic narrative needed for a good story. Lots of work to be done there, but I am looking forward to it.
Not as much fun is the job from hell. After they gave me a low rating for the dictionary, I just wanted to get away from them. Aside from the fact that it was a stellar job, going far beyond their requested requirements, ratings are everything on Elance, and it will take awhile for me to regain the lost ground. And the comments for my three month project? Just, "nice job."
Today's picture is of a man in China who makes his living painting tiny scenes on the insides of bottles. He learned the art as a young boy, and has been at it ever since. The brushes that he uses are extremely tiny - some of them are only a single hair.
This is the first layer of paint. He will go on to add color and more detail.
