The Fairytale of the Century

Tomorrow, the wedding of the century will play out at Westminster Abbey. But I don't have to tell you that. Nobody with a pulse could possibly miss it. The nuptials have fairytale proportions and, following the tragic end to Prince Charles' and Diana's marriage, Kate and Will have their public life cut out for them - so to speak.

This stop-motion animation short was made using only lightbulbs (the incandescent one is Kate), paper, cardboard and colored cupcake wrappers. Pretty ingenius. Note the symbolism of the fox and the frog bringing up the rear.

On a personal note, I am suddenly very busy with freelance writing assignments all this week and for the next two weeks. Yay! The more the merrier - sort of. One likes to be contracted to write and we all love the paycheck that comes at the end but (and here's the irony) it means putting all my other projects on hold.

Every working writer has this challenge. It's all about balance. So posts may be brief and sporadic going into May. Lots of research and wordsmithery going on. And who knows, when there's a lot of work to do that has a deadline attached to it, other work tends to get done too. Interesting how that works.
