Thanks to everyone who has stopped by Picture West Virginia, and especially to those of you who have contributed. This blog hasn’t quite worked out like I expected it to, so I’m going to put it on hiatus for a while. I have an idea for a version of PWV that might work out much better, and I’m going to be thinking about that for a while. In the meantime, feel free to stop by my personal blog at Reversing the Numbness.

Thanks to everyone who’s stopped by Picture West Virginia in the first couple of weeks. I’m hoping the following weeks see a little more participation, so if you have any interest in playing along, week three is a good time to start. The topic is “Structures.” Even if you don’t feel like participating, I’d appreciate it if you’d spread the word to anybody you know who might be interested.

If anyone has questions about PWV, feel free to email me at bryan@picturewestvirginia.com.

Props out to my Clarksburg friend Eric Lewis, who felt inspired by this fledgling blog and decided to record a song of the same name. Check it out here: “Picture West Virginia”

Thanks, Eric! Speaking of music, I’d like to invite everyone over to my personal blog (Reversing the Numbness) for this week’s edition of Friday Music, where my buddy Clash is guest-hosting. Have a band you love telling people about? Or maybe you’re looking for new music? Friday Music is a good spot for both.

Finally, there’s still time to submit posts for the first week’s topic, My Town. Also note the upcoming topics to the left — I hope more of you will participate next week!

Welcome to the first week of Picture West Virginia! This week’s topic is My Town. If you don’t know how this works, be sure to read this.

Take a look at the Future Topics list at the top-left of this screen for upcoming prompts; I hope you’ll consider playing along.

Thanks for stopping by Picture West Virginia. The idea of this blog is to portray West Virginia through the eyes, ears, hands, hearts and brains of the creative-minded people who really know the state. (In other words, not Hollywood.) You can read full details and find out how to participate at How Does PWV Work? I’ll be the moderator as well as a regular participant. For those of you who are familiar with my personal blog, Reversing the Numbness (where I go by “SleekPelt”), this works a bit like my Friday Music posts.

As you can see to the left, the first three topics have been announced. I hope some of you will participate, and I invite everyone who stops by to comment. I’m taking contributions now and will start posting on Monday.
