Clement Skitt’s Word of the Day
“His mother’s loll, the lollpoop, lolloped.”
Let’s dissect:
LOLL: Mother’s loll; a favourite child, the mother’s darling,
LOLLPOOP: A lazy, idle drone…
TO LOLLOP: To lean with one’s elbows on a table.
-all from the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue by Francis Grose

For the love of books
I have always had a great fondness for things that looked like books but weren’t books. In fact, I have a fondness for things that look like things they are not overall. I am remembering beautiful porcelain bowls that looked like lettuce leaves and porcelain cups that looked like solo cups…that’s another post. This one is all about the books. Amazingly, I only have one of these.

work and pleasure
BTW, I got to go to the Kraemer Copyright Conference this year. It is in Colorado Springs, just across the valley from the Garden of the Gods. The campus has an awesome, if distant view that I got to peak at during the day while I planned my walking trip.

NaNoWriMo 2016
National Novel Writing Month is here again. For those who’ve never tried it, now is the year. It is wonderful to dive into the deep end of a creative project and know that a whole world of people are diving in with you. Besides inspiring people of all ages to find their inner writers, the folks over at NaNoWriMo also have a young writers program that encourages and teaches kids about writing. I’m a big fan; can you tell?
Get more information in this year’s PressRelease2016v5.pdf. And, get your novel on!
Happy Halloween

Guess what? I draw nerdy comics about copyright, publishing and libraries. This one seemed appropriate for Open Access Week. Be on the lookout for more, posting to the Drawing Board soon!
