(http://electricliterature.com/single-sentence-animations/) The sentence that inspired Little Things: "I dated a chubby Catholic girl who told me her parents never touched her, that as a kid she wanted to be touched so badly she looked forward to the lice and scoliosis tests at school" (author site: http://vancereeser.com/)

(MB) MIRROR BLOGGING

 

Mirror blogging = alegerea unei teme comune de postare de catre mai multi bloggeri din mai multe domenii diferite, cu modalitati diferite de exprimare (cu am fi poezie, proza, grafica, filmulete etc) si reprezentarea acestei teme prin modalitatea de exprimare specifica fiecaruia. Este un concept, o idee pe care am descoperit-o/creat-o impreuna cu Sandi si Cela si a aparut dintr-o joaca de idei.

Ne vom juca cu teme serioase si cu teme ghiduse si vom aduce o aceeasi tema vazuta si inteleasa din 3 perspective, 3 minti diferite in fata ochilor vostri. Pe langa joaca noastra, la care va invitam sa fiti martori, va veti alege cu mai multe minute petrecute (in mod placut, speram noi, pe blogurile noastre). Postarile care vor fi rodul acestei initiative vor fi marcate cu (MB = mirror blogging), fiecare dintre noi avand si alte postari care nu se inscriu in aceasta idee, iar in lista blogurilor pe care le urmarim pe paginile noastre veti gasi semnalate cu completarea Mirror Blogging Partner, blogurile inscrise in aceasta joaca.

Prima tema: “Lucruri mici” ("Little things")

SAILING THROUGH LIFE...

Anchored

"I just really wanted to create a feel good story that I could share with people that might have some emotional value. And I wanted to show how in people's roughest times if you don't focus on the negative God can show you, and use people to show you, an overwhelming hope and faith."

About FATHERS AND DAUGHTERS...

 

Father and Daughter

Will

Dandelion

However, while she keeps feeling sad of her grandfather's death, these sentences give her infinite courage to release her mind. (author website: http://www.jackieliao.com/)

 

Tir Nan Og
