If you want to write, but just don't feel a pressing need to do so...try taking a look at some awesome pictures or paintings one websites. Take a look at Michael Whelan (example) and if you do so...let me know what you think of his illustrations.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996150568062682613.post-39390817121231009462011-07-14T03:30:12.382-07:002011-07-14T03:30:12.382-07:00You should still get up and write them down...what...You should still get up and write them down...whatever the cat thinks.Martin Willoughbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605554706836638988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996150568062682613.post-34668285067571542672011-07-14T01:52:20.246-07:002011-07-14T01:52:20.246-07:00Thanks Victoria.

Michael, I...Thanks Victoria. Interesting stuff...<br /><br />Michael, I think you're right. The lure of a pint (or half in my case) in a sunny pub garden is too strong for most people.<br /><br />And Martin, I think it may actually be Zest...lol. Oops. And it's not that I have my ideas at night - the ideas are already there - I just go over scenes and see how they pan out in words. Does that make sense?DRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352970077497112668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996150568062682613.post-8432226783285433872011-07-13T11:09:46.901-07:002011-07-13T11:09:46.901-07:00'zessed' or 'zest'?
