I’ve been focusing on editing my manuscript lately. I’ve been loosing myself in the lush rainforests of Costa Rica, dreaming my toes are sinking into the black sand beaches where much of the story takes place. I look back on the photographs of my journey through that wonderland daily, coaxing memories of the sound of howler monkeys in the treetops, the scent of orchid blooms mixed with gallo pinto, the feel of the pregnant air, heavy with with imminent rain.
Since I wasted spent an afternoon playing with my photos on Picnik, I lessened my guilt by using images that would inspire my writing, and words to go along with my characters and story.
Inspiration is everywhere
if you just take a moment to look…
I’m linking up again with Galit Breen of These Little Waves and Alison of Mama Wants This
for the Memories Captured meme.
Check it out!
Ooh, love this! Clever, helpful, *and* pretty! Perfection!
What a neat way to link up, love your thoughts, words and photos.
Awesome – your writing combined with those pics takes me right there!

Editing your manuscript is difficult, I know this to be true in any case. I like your arts of inspiration as they motivate me to edit my own manuscript. There are many points in my day where I want to give up, but I guess – today is not one of them.

Oh Vino, baby, these are so clever. I just liked that pun. So now I'm clever – like you. They are pretty cool… especially the one with the teardrops.

My recent post New York City {In Pictures}
I absolutely LOVE the image with "you can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surf". Actually, i love ALL of these images. How beautiful and lush. But that first one is the most powerful for me. Well done.
