I’ve got a lot of creative friends both local and remote and the run the range of full time artists to people I love swapping stories with over beers.
For a while now I’ve had this idea where I want to do a one time literary/art journal and get all of my friends to submit. A fun project for the year where I ask all of them to submit a story or a poem or a photograph or a drawing or just a two paragraph reason why I should buy a bottle of their favorite wine. If they don’t want to send something in I’d ask them to pass it on to someone else.
In the end I’d gather it all up, pick the best stuff, and get a book made just in time to give one to everyone as a gift. There are some great services now (www.blurb.com) that look like they could assist in that process. Probably would put it up online somewhere to.
Crazy idea? Think it would work… I think so.
