…The words that appear in the image that makes up the header on this blog are all taken from the first paragraph of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds. I pasted the text into Wordle, then made a screen capture before pasting the image into GIMP (for Gnu/Linux) (GIMP for Windows can be found here) and cropping then saving the resulting image.

You caught me. I did wonder what the image represented. I thought it might be some new Brit word roulette game, or something a Tourette’s afflicted writer says. War of the Worlds was one of the first novels I remember reading as a kid. What a great way to make art from art.
The War of the Worlds was one of my first memorable reads too, James. I just figured that i would try to make my own header, rather than choose a ready-made one from the web, and it suddenly dawned on me to have aheader made from words! After all, both writing and reading are all about words. It took me a while to decide which book to use. I wanted a book that didn’t have a person’s name in the first paragraph, because Wordle makes people’s names more prominent than all of the other words. I eventually settles on The War of the Worlds. Thank you again for the wonderful comment. You’re very supportive of me and i greatly appreciate it.
