VELLUM is a type of parchment paper, from the Old French "velin" meaning "calfskin."
Weather in October, November, April & May, my writing room, my cat Freya, reading in my big red chair, milk tea with honey, my writer's notebook, my library, long walks, snapping photos on my phone, the Arts & Crafts movement, fountain pens, sleep, huge rain clouds, rain, reflecting pools, writing fiction.
My favorite writers
Virginia Woolf, Jeanne Rhys, Samuel Beckett, Flann O'Brien, Dostoyevsky, James Joyce, Alice Munro, Denis Johnson, Chuck Palahniuk, Jerzy Kozinsky, Nathanael West, Amy Hempel, Celine, Dodie Smith, Camus, Stevie Smith, Mary Lasswell, Bukowski, T.H. White, Flannery O'Connor, Rilke, Lorrie Moore, George Saunders, Katherine Mansfield, Charles D'Ambrosio, and Tobias Wolff. ---Of course, the list continues to grow as does my library.
Behind all images and words is 無常 or "mujo" , which in Japanese means ephemeral Everything born into this world changes and will ultimately disappear. Knowing this, intellectual property seems to me a curious thing.
