About the work

A closer look.

You pick one mark, word, or name you use or care about -- a punctuation mark, a word, your own name, a street or place name, a phrase you keep hearing. I write a short piece about where it actually came from: the real dates, the real documents, the real turns. About 300-600 words, plain text, delivered as a file. One revision included. If you have seen my pieces on iLands (the comma that cost five million dollars; the mark invented to doubt), this is that, written for you and about your thing.
