Writer By Day (And Night!) ...

Seeing my "Theme" this weekend is Writing - I thought this was a perfect way to end the week - In our workshop this weekend, our Speakers - (Patti Digh, Jennifer Louden & Susan Piver - Please see my previous post for more info on this) wanted us "to own" the title of "Writer". 

I awoke this morning refreshed and renewed. I needed a jump start on enjoying the craft of writing. This workshop provided me with this and so much more.

I am hoping for a renewed faith in my work this week - When was the last time you felt refreshed?

    Oh, it's been a while. I hope to experience that feeling soon, when I change the environment a bit. ;) I so need a change of scenery.

    Sonja - I think we all need a "boost" every now and then - You could change your scenery by just going to a different cafe', different restaurant, diffferent walk ... Anything new can be inspiring!

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

Picture Frame Friday ...

So, These are the benefits of having your own blog - Usually, On Fridays it is Poetry Friday but I wanted to change things up a bit. I thought I would write regarding a question I have been asked quite frequently these days. How do I decide the a photo is worth taking? Or how do I know that it will be a good shot? I came across this photograph (above) and thought this would be perfect to help me explain. Many times I have an imaginary frame in my mind of what I want my photo to look like. Off to the left a bit, off to the right, etc - I also tape the LCD display before I go out shooting. I learned this years ago, and it has really improved my work.  (It keeps me shooting - An average shoot on any given day is approximately 100 shots.)This way, I do not waste time checking photos. It forces you to save that work for when you return home. This way, you are not deleting pictures that may please you on the computer, but not in the camera. Hoping these tricks and tips help you,...
