Thoughts

– and dashes

THOUGHTS provided the author with inspiration to write his book series REFLECTIONS I, II and III. At first glance a thought and a reflection fit hand in glove, but according to George Manus, his thoughts are written in a more targeted fashion and over a short period of time, whereas he in his books REFLECTIONS writes over a much longer period, sometimes lasting years. The book THOUGHTS was thus written in only 51 days, during which the author sat down at his computer every morning, with just one idea in mind, to get the thought written down, edited and corrected. He also reaches far and wide, writing about China, the building activities taking place in Spain, a Ford Fiesta and the snow in Norway. We thus understand very well that he after 51 days felt that enough was enough and proudly declared that that was that, had a glass of red wine and went for a long walk through the magnificent landscape surrounding him.
After this, the 51 thoughts lay in a drawer for several years …

But the thoughts wanted OUT. Then one day he sent the manuscript to his good friend, Ole Praud, and asked him if he could take charge of the practical side of things, like the layout, digitisation and printing of the book. The manuscript was also sent to the cartoonist, Morten Løfberg, asking if he could make a vignette for each of the stories and to the architect and artist, Jan Arnt, asking if he could supplement the book’s thoughts with some suitable and colourful dashes. Thus the title of the book ’’THOUGHTS and Dashes’. The book can be recommended to everyone who likes wise and entertaining thoughts and dashes, where both the right and the left side of the brain become engaged.
