Maybe I'll be back #18

There's a thousand things pulling me in a thousand directions, but it's easier than ever to generate coherent text (boo, hiss!).

So I should at least do THAT.

Romance novels featuring Mona Lisa.

(La Gioconda has been a visual scaffold for me the past 3 years or so. And a writing influence back to the 90s in XRAYSMONALISA etc.).

@hugovk Thanks for keeping the flame alive!

Or.... I could do a stupid version of XRAYSMONALISA (nothing extant online rn, I think), an abstract-concrete margin-filler of text. Not sure how to count it as words. But if a picture is worth 1,000 words and one page is a picture, then I need 50 pages. Which isn't impossible.

....

Just improbable.

Well I'll be dipped - if nothing else, thinking about participating pushes me to trawl the web for things. In case, my things.

I stopped updating my website a few years back and the PHP version got outdated, and then I lost my 20-year-old URL, which still stings (MY OWN FAULT, kinda). Sigh.
