Sci Friday # 114: Visual Inspiration
Images that inspired me
“Delivered Beauty“
What?
Last week I shared the photo of an invading flower beginning to unfurl its flower. Last week, it finally unfurled. And, boy, was it awesome.
Why?
Growing plants and writing require a lot of patience. Sometimes that flower doesn’t bloom because of storm, caterpillars, one of the four-footed toddlers knocking it over, or dozens of other factors.
It’s the same with writing. As I’m creating this Post, I’m finally finding my way forward on a middle grade GameLit novella I’ve wanted to write for over a year. My ideas are finally blooming enough that I can plant them at the proper story beats to build towards that finally moment when tension, characters, emotion, and events finally bloom.
But I don’t know how that final climactic moment will bloom. That will come with time. 🙂
Readers questions: What awesome thing has taught you patience?
Hope all y’all had a great week. Enjoy the weekend. 👋
I mis-read your question at the end. "What awful thing has taught you patience?" I was typing an answer when the light bulb in my head lit up. Trying to stay positive...but even so, if I'd read "awesome" correctly I might have said "diapers".
