Timer on a camera + flashlight = floating ghost writing

I used the flashlight technique for this, which has been much discussed, so I will just add these notes:
1. F stop was 8; room was pitch black.
2. Used a penlight flashlight
3. Faced a clean mirror (had to clean after my first attempt revealed more than I intended)
4. The amount of writing you have to do determines the length of the exposure.
5. You have to write at a leisurely pace and cursive is best since everything will be connected.
6. I will pay $10 to the first person who can dot the "i" correctly and cleanly on his/her own version.
