Whether Or Not To Weather

Metaphor Publications, Inc. Posted on March 23, 2015 by Michael MatsonMarch 28, 2015

Today, we live in air conditioned houses or flats in concrete jungles, and travel in air conditioned cars and buses and planes.

Visualize Chapter 1

Metaphor Publications, Inc. Posted on March 11, 2015 by AE MatsonMarch 11, 2015

So. According to WordItOut, this is what the first chapter of Raven’s Tears looks like. I can like that a lot. There are meta-things to be discussed about the so-called “random” placement of those words, eh? This is probably my … Continue reading →
