Given the popularity of these ‘What a Beautiful Language’ posts, I’m considering writing a book about some of the oddities of English…
Is there anyone out there who would be interested in reading something like this?

Oh, yes, please. My kind of thing entirely. Big subject, though!

Yes, Jon, you’re right, it is, and there’s no way I could cover everything! I thought each chapter could address a different perspective on, and/or aspect of, the English language that’s a little quirky. Don’t want it to be too in-depth or heavy, though. I just thought that it might make for an interesting read… 🙂

I think it would, and that sounds like a good plan. Go for it.

Great, thank you! 🙂 By the way, Sarah, does First Night Design do any digital design work?

It’s all digital because of my disabilities. I’m self-taught so have no training in graphic design. If you’re specifically referring to that kind of design as opposed to what’s considered art, you’d have to look through my galleries to see if what I can do might be what you have in mind!

Yes, that makes complete sense 🙂 I was just thinking how nice it would be to create a custom cover for the book, and I am rather taken with your work! Of course, it would have to be in a high-quality digital format, but if that’s how you work anyway, then great!

I’ve always longed to get into book cover design so if you were to consider me, I’d love it!

And the fact that your work is genuinely ‘arty’ rather than simply being thrown together by someone who understands computers is kind of the appeal! I have this mental image of piles of books and old maps, with writing over the top…. Some of your work on Saatchi and FineArt has the exact vibe I had in mind! Your work really is beautiful, by the way… 🙂

You’re very welcome! Excited by the possibility of working with you on this 🙂 I suppose I had better get writing… after all, a cover needs a book!
