EVENT: Arznstigation Days (Heidi and Mike in Photos)

Image
EVENTS and PHOTOS I'm an Arnzstigator, an instigator inspired by author Michael A. Arznen and supporter of his kickstarter project--The Fridge of the Damned Poetry Magnets . Mike's project has already been funded, but his supporters are trying to help him reach that stretch level of $2700 so everyone can have really cool Gorletized tins for those great magnets . We only have until Thursday, January 31, so to persuade you to participate, the pack at Raw Dog Screaming Press is posting things which inspire them about Mike and his work. I've decided to post every good photo I can find that Mike and I have taken together since I met him in January 2005 at Seton Hill University . For other great Arnzstigations, check out the RDSP blog - http://raw-dog.livejournal.com/250353.html

THOUGHTS: Peter Jackson in 2013

THOUGHTS Happy 2013! I'm starting the new year off with a tradition that writer Michael Arnzen shared with several of us from Seton Hill going into 2012-- focus words instead of resolutions . Pictureless Books also talks about bringing in the new year with focus words. Last year I chose Write First and it worked better than I could have anticipated. You can read about my early thoughts concerning the Write First concept in a guest post I did at Lee Allen Howard's blog . My focus words this year began as Next Level , which my writer husband, Jason Jack Miller , and I discussed at length. It was such a huge concept that we shared it with our friends John Edward Lawson and Jennifer Barnes of Raw Dog Screaming Press to use as a motto for the entire RDSP community. That being a group focus, we needed a new set of words. Jason chose Health and Zen . I chose... Peter Jackson . My reawakening to Jackson and his work on the LotR films began as one would imagine..
