I took a lot of
photos in 2016. Below are a few from this past year.
I use the natural world as
an inspiration for my writing.
You know the old
saying that a picture is worth a thousand
words, right?
As a writer, I
think that a picture can produce or inspire a
thousand words.
Sometimes I keep a
photo up on part of my desktop when I’m writing, or I’ll click back and forth
between a photo and my manuscript. For my characters, sometimes I use photos to
help me create moods, tap into emotions, and inspire actions.
