Pictures and 1000 Words

When the story idea font is seemingly running dry, I often go web-surfing for inspiring artwork. Then I try to see if I can come up with one thousand words about the picture, putting the old proverb to the test. Sometimes it works!



I found this lovely lady and her baby at photobucket.com. Now I may or may not write a story about a mermaid. Despite the title, mermaids are not really the focus of this blog.
All that aside, I love the magical and powerful, but also dream-like feeling of this piece. And those are the kinds of feelings that put me in the mood to write.
