Vincent Van Romance Writer

I’m rushing towards the end of my work in progress, Bending Rivers.  Because of that, today's post is short and sweet, but fun!  (I'm ALL about the fun!)  And by golly I’m going to finish this book before I leave for RWA Nationals  if it kills me and then I can have even more fun in Anaheim!  YiPpEe!

My youngest, Vz Gogh, shared this video with me and it made me think of writing a book…the assembly of the story, the arrangement (and rearrangement) of the details, the looking at it from every possible angle and reworking it until it flows and falls in the right directions…all the way up to “The End”.  Plus on the heels of Kathy publishing, I have to say  that even in dominoes…. you just never give up.   If you dream it its worth doing it.  And if you do it then you believe in it until the thing works.  And when you finish the story, then you sit back and watch its beauty unfold from every direction.  Then when someone else enjoys all the pieces of your dream unfold, well, there’s just nothing in the world like that feeling of accomplishment.  It gives you the encouragement to do it all over again on a new story, a new work of art, a new dream.

So enjoy this little video while I go back and regroup a few of my own dominoes.  Be sure to pay attention all the way to the end for the different views.  And tell me…. are you as amazed by this artists work as I am?  Would this be something like a NYTBS Domino-ist?  :D

  2. Amazing! I can't imagine having that kind of patience. Of course, Van Gogh is always my favorite.

    Good luck on the WIP!

    1. Vz Gogh builds like that and has since she was old enough to hold a Lego....so much so I threw in the towel and put furniture in the living room to hold Legos, Knex, and the likes. Thankfully it paid off....she's the builder on a Lego Robotics Team. It boggles my mind.....I certainly don't have the patience for it in dominoes.....but give me some Prismacolor pencils or a story to write and I'm as patient as can be! Weird!

      As for my favorite....Van's alright, but I'll take Rembrandt any day. He must've had a wicked funny bone.....cracks me up, some of his work! Others humble and amaze me ; )

  3. I am really late today. I have worked on what I am supposed to be working on but I have also spent a lot of time looking for pictures of Precious Angel posted to the AOG website. Finally found a picture and Godson's Dad found a video.

    So yes, I am fascinated my WebGuy's artistry.
