Lovely Quote

As we follow the brook down the hillside and into another thicket of maple trees, we come upon a clearing in the distance where a cabin is tucked beneath the hilly grove, protectively among the dogwoods and cherry blossoms. The setting is peaceful and somehow comforting. This haven calls out for us to enter, as if its creaking walnut floorboards had spoken the words, welcoming us into the quiet arms of solace. A place of such elemental beauty and solitude is a soothing vision to the writer in all of us. Imagine the possibility of spending hour upon hour bentover, scrawling that secret sonnet or penning those winding words that whisper to us upon the breath of angels. The quiet ambience alone would help us to be alone with our thoughts, honing the craft that we love. The possibilities of such a place are profound and limitless. Just imagine that special quiet place. --An excerpt from "I Dream of a Special, Quiet Place" by Katherine West ---

Graphics & Fonts

GraphicsIQ has graphics and related headlines from Moreover. Another site I really need to investigate thoroughly is, Website Tips. Yet one more is Web Wonk, David Siegel's site.

I started surfing for fonts and found FontFreak Maybe I'll just gather a few fontsites tonight and start working on a new site for all those links. Another font site I'm going to have to include is Nick's Fonts. He has some really nifty designs that are sparking off some ideas.Neal Davidson also has some interesting fantasy style fonts. I have to also add a link for the Design and Publishing Online Newsletter the first stop at the Design and Publishing Center. And just so I don't forget it, I'm including a link to the lovely Web-O-Mints font from Galapagos Design Group.
