Deep Pencil - the musings of Morgan Bell

 
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it did it really make a sound? If i post a blog and nobody reads it was there really any point? You have entered the random thinking space of Morgan Bell . . . These are my musings . . . things about my life written off the top of my head . . . written in an informal disjointed style almost completely devoid of punctuation, this is where i flesh out writing ideas, discuss my life, and generally be self indulgent . . . it is also the bargain bin for articles which do not fit in with the film or arts themes of my other blogs . . . so have a wander around my mind, have a laugh, have a think, be nice, and humour me!

On my radar . . .

Confidence is a must
Happiness is a plus
Edginess is a rush
Edges, I like them rough

Radar . . . got you on my . . .
Radar . . . got you on my . . .
Radar . . . got you on my . . .

Radar.

I got my eye on you . . . and I cant let you get away.



There actually is a point to this post, other than the musical stylings of Britney Spears and the fan-video direction of Leslie Diep.

A list of websites that have been on my radar.

Some new and exciting ways to entertain yourself on the net


1. Daily Booth

dailybooth.com

For people who like taking photos of themselves. Daily Booth is an online photo journal designed to document the appearance of the user over time in daily photos. Take a snap from your webcam or phone or digital camera and upload to the site each day. You can create a record of your life and how you feel by collating images of how you look. It's a quirky way of marking time, and a great incentive to practice your photography.


2. Blovel Spot

blovelspot.com

Blovel Spot is the new resource for writers to write blog novels (or blovels) online. A blovel is a novel you write very quickly in 40 chapters of around 500 to 1000 words each. One chapter a week (or a day if you are feeling productive) over 40 weeks. Each post is a chapter which should end in a cliffhanger. Blovels should be written in first person and stick to the three act structure. No editing allowed. The blovel is intended allow writers to jot down a first draft which can be used to structure a proper novel from.


3. Square Space

squarespace.com

Bloggers, businesses, authors, and professionals are all able to take advantage of Squarespace's flexible platform because it can power sites of all sizes.

4. Blurb

You can create your books with a free bookmaking software (for Mac and PC) and produce bookstore quality books. Blurb is a low cost and professional way of promoting your work as an artist.
