The pond was covered by a precarious shelf of ice.
Beautiful ice. Superman was the first to point out the obviously insane fishermen out on the middle of the pond.
Okay, so sometimes in life, as in writing, you have to break the rules,
JUST A LITTLE.
And, look the audience straight on.
Never, ever hide. (Except from the internet, when you need to get some work done!)
Rest a bit when the going gets tough.
Throw your arms out wide...
...and go after the prize.
In this case: ice cream. (Homemade, "Superman" ice cream, if you're wondering! I'm serious, it's named "Superman".) In my opinion, ice cream is even better than candy.
Okay, so I know that my kids were blocking all the beautiful Walden scenes :). Hopefully you could see enough around the edges to be inspired to make writing progress this week. And for those of you who really pay attention, and who may be concerned about the lack of picture time for my oldest child, let me reassure you, he chose to play with friends during our ice walk. And, he's a bit shy about appearing on the blog.
So, I am busy going after the prize, and keeping my blogging to a minimum (hence the pictures-say-a-thousand-words post).
What are you accomplishing this week? What inspires you? Broken any good rules lately?
I also want to say thanks to Anita for an excellent interview this past Friday. And be sure to come back this Friday for the prolific Jo Ramsey! She has recently published a YA book. Come by and check out her story.
