The Imaginary Word
May 18, 2007


I came across this today and wanted to point you all in the direction. It’s a very interesting tale - you won’t see the ending coming. Not right way. There’s some great detail, the bones of an interesting culture. Worth the time it takes to read most definately.

Something for those interested in the visual.

I am in a bit of a Cheshire Cat mood of late - a bit on the mischeivious side, a bit on the odd side of normal. The things that have drawn me in this month all have mood, have flavor.

If stories are spices, then the spices of life are many and I want to sample them all.

A Visual Symphony

Ysambre.

I am in love with this book. It doesn’t matter that I would struggle with my highschool french to read it, I am in love with it anyway. If anyone out there in the ether ever wants to be generous - this is one of the top things in my most wanted joyful things.

Jean-Marie

There are some truly magnificent and some truly disturbing works here - the ones for the Nicolas Hulot foundation being the most vivid and disturbing images I’ve seen in a long while that didn’t rely on gore or horror. Beautiful to look at.


Xray Art

This is not the first time I’ve wished I could read Russian... The images are at once ghastly and interesting. I want to see more. I want to know how they’re done. They strike something in me, a bit of my morbid curiousity, plucking a chord in the piece of me that will always be a mortician’s granddaughter. It’s just neat.

The Imaginary Word is sponsored by Better Fiction, an online writer's workshop and community dedicated to seeing its members succeed.

The Imaginary Word is also sponsored by Totally Novel:

"You should have seen the way they cried out for blood. I frequent the boards at a popular SF&F magazine, and the occasional spam left by self-published authors trying to sell their books always provoked drastic responses. For me, it signaled a sparsity of opportunities for independant writers to market their books. Totally Novel is trying to change that." - Wade Ogletree, Founder of Totally Novel.
