Using a flash at arms length, fired at the beginning of the exposure to get my image. Then dropped that, and used a red and a blue "Photon" light to drawn the words.
After more than 50 attempts, I finally got one where the letters were both legible and not overlapping. I decided it was time to call it quits and just accepted that the bottom of the "F" in self was slightly cutoff. Untouched by Photoshop except to crop slightly.
The 8 point star on SELF was an unintended bonus/surprise. No filters were used. Writing backwards was the hard part.

Neat idea.. Did you manage to write this that well backwards, or is the image flipped? Either way, neat.. I would have probably cropped it abouce the top of the words, but appart from that, did I mention neat?
Very original and very well done! I think the composition might have been better with the "self" placed higher and a bit to the right, but I really like it.
