The goal of this blog is not to get into the nitty-gritty of my creative process, inspiration or the like. Most of my story ideas come out of nowhere; and the rest from a potpourri of experiences. That said, I do have more traditional moments of inspiration that get my creative wheels turning. This morning I was walking the dog in a familiar place, like I have done many times before, and a particular look at my surroundings got me started. Completely formative ideas, mind you. What’s funny is how this same (same-ish?) look at the scenery never struck me this way before. Another random moment, perhaps? I do not have an answer to that. I thought, for no good reason, I would share that moment. It is a blog thing to do.
Sorry about the picture quality. I was not thinking about posting this at the time; and it was roughly 1 degree Celsius (34-ish Fahrenheit) and beginning to snow.
