More Famous Writers and a Store

This week has been very busy as we've been setting up our new store on Zazzle. The name of the store is, of course, Words Plus Paper. Now, we will no longer have to link to items individually. You can go into the store and browse all of our designs, including the ones that never make it on the blog.

We will also start updating the blog more frequently but with only 1 or 2 featured designs at a time. This will allow us to look more closely at the inspiration behind our favorite designs.

This week, however, we do have four new writer t-shirts. First is Henry David Thoreau, the bad boy of Walden. Have we mentioned before how much we love his essay "Civil Disobedience". Supposedly Martin Luther King and Mahatma Ghandi were both inspired by his writing.

Next is Fyodor Dostoevsky. You must have known we were Crime and Punishment fans because we featured the Raskolnikov for President bumper sticker in a previous blog entry. Well, we still are. The Brothers Karamazov is on our reading list.

We also have a Charlotte Bronte t-shirt. She created the memorable character Jane Eyre, a strong, moral, and independent woman, in a time not known for independent women. This semi-autobiographical novel is still considered to be one of England's finest.

And finally, we've done a Jack London t-shirt. Sometimes he's passed off as too commercial, but his short stories are a fine example of the art. All of his works are available on the internet at jacklondons.net. Read "To Build a Fire" again, if you haven't already.

We hope you enjoy the new designs. Feel free to stop by the store. Thanks!
