One down...

Ladies and gentlemen I give you my hand drawn mazes. http://www.bookhabit.com/book_details.php?book_id=1118

Check it out. They are a bit rough and organic but I think that is part of the charm of them. It’s also interesting to note that if you look closely at some of the pages you can see hints of what might be on the other side of the paper they are scanned off of. Proof that Roving Jack is a strong supporter of reducing, reusing and recycling.

This has been one of the projects I’ve been working towards for a little while. It’s both a creative and meditative process for me (much as origami has been over the years) and it’s also something

I hope there is intrest in. As the description states there will be future volumes, as I have been producing them, one a day, since January first. Once the New Year comes along I will see where interest in these might go from here and consider a cleaner and better produced series of mazes based on the feedback of those who might be interested. So let me hear from you about them. The first two are free so you can get the feel for my work, and if you should be interested the price is right for getting 120 mazes like none you’ve ever seen before.

Now while I’d like to rest on the wonder of this first step in a grand experiment of creative ventures I have two urgently calling projects that I have to get back to, and a myriad of other little ones whose deadlines are a little less urgent and a bit more flexible.

One last thing of note. I was stunned and nearly speechless by a most generous donation on my Charity write-a-thon. Http://www.firstgiving.com/rovingjack

As the person chose to be anonymous I can but offer great thanks generally and hope that it hasn’t forced you to resort to eating rice noodles. I would gladly offer some token of my appreciation such as a free copy of my book of mazes. Or a custom piece of handmade jewelry from one of my two styles yet to be released to the public.

Well I thank all my readers and kith and kin who know where to find me for watching me during that event, and all I can say is, keep watching because more is coming from me over the next few months.

I may do another charity fund raiser while writing for NaNoWriMo this November (likely to whatever children’s literacy cause they are benefitting this year), but definitely I will be doing one after the new year, and I’m thinking of helping the same wonderful people who saw me to my family.

But for the near future I’ve got to prep for NaNo, finish some of my other master list projects, and generally create, create, create.

I’ll let you know any new developments on Monday, and By Wednesday I hope to be able to report on the completion of two or three other major projects.
Until then Take care of yourselves,
Roving Jack
