Hi Faith, thanks for your visit and lovely comment on my blog. I'm so glad you like my first pattern! I'd very much like to see what you do with it.

I can't imagine why you aren't getting any comments on your wonderful posts - your art is marvellous. I shall sign up to follow you. This watercolour is stunning. I look forward to seeing more! Your Zentangles are beautiful, too. Excellent work.

Thoughts are things

Good advice

I came across the comment below and I think it's the nearest I've come to what writing is all about. I love writing, especially novels and poems. I write for myself but also because I've nothing else much to leave behind. I want to write books and poems for my grandson, even if they never want to read them. The heritage thing also applies to some, but not all of my paintings. Anything you create with love and passion is something to leave behind - evidence of energy and imagination that live on!

Here's what Steven James writes in his "Story Trumps Structure" (nothing to do with the US president! trumps = triumphs over):

"To uncover the plot of your story, don't ask what should happen, but what could go wrong. To uncover the meaning of your story, don't ask what the theme is, but rather, what is discovered. Characters making choices to resolve tension - that's your plot, If your protagonist has no goal, makes no choices, has no struggle, you have no plot."

Comment: I find that this quote applies to life, really, but definitely to the fictional world writers create.
