introduction

This blog details the ongoing creation of an altered book that I started in June 2011. I have altered the pages by drawing, writing, and pasting pictures and clippings on the pages. My book serves as a journal and sketchbook, and it helps me generate ideas for creative writing projects. Some pages are based on works and words that inspire me; others are drawn from my own weird ideas. Some pages are still works in progress, and I will upload pages as I finish them. Create your own and join me!
