notes from a novel

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2023.09.02

My brother passed along this rather incredible account of typeset in the Star Trek movies and TV shows. It was pretty great! I buy the argument that the book on the inner workings of the Enterprise - which included some details on the fonts in play - was a part of the story in bringing the movies about in the first place.

All that Star Trek reading reminds me of course of The Kirk, The McCoy, and The Spock. Forming a Freudian Trio, they can be the center of a Five Man Band. Which is how I'm playing it in my novel.
