IWSG - when you don't have time for a new post, re-post

or in this case, do a post with links to other IWSG posts. these are some of my favorites...

let's encourage each other (encouragement from other writers)

facing the critics

just like Christmas

how Dick and Jane can help an insecure writer

writing and composting

if you want to see my other IWSG posts, use the IWSG tab at the top of the page.

if you want advice from other insecure writers, go to the IWSG page (link in the sidebar).

now go write something, even if it's drivel or compost.

(an update on character development - i have documents for most of the main characters and some of the side characters. i'm getting closer to working on the actual novel again :)

and because the ladies seemed to like it so much last time, and a picture of Arathor...um, i mean Adrian Paul would make anyone's day better, here he is again... (i'm so bad.)

creatures of the forest

with my wild imagination, i can see a fairy or troll emerging from here. i'll have to be careful when i go walking in the woods around my future house. 

between a rock and a...hoodoo

this is a collapsed hoodoo (a rock formation caused by differential resistance to erosion, meaning that the top part of the hoodoo is harder than the bottom, so the bottom erodes faster). my husband and i call them mushroom rocks. this one is along Highway 89A, leading to the north rim of the Grand Canyon. to give you perspective, the larger boulder was about three times my height. 


here's one that hasn't eroded yet.



 i'm not sure how inspiring these are, but i might use them for another setting in my book. (still debating.)

a place to explore

i took both of these pictures when i was at the Glen Eyrie Writer's retreat in 2010.

me and the beach

i sometimes use this for desktop wallpaper. can you see a story taking place here?
