So about 2004, I won a week’s residency at The Mary Anderson Center at Mt. St. Francis, where I worked on stitching the dismembered bits of various rewrites of SAGE into a more-or-less coherent whole. While there, I took this picture of a statue they have there, which struck me as the funniest thing I’d ever seen.
Yes, I do have friends, actually.
I also took this picture:
which I used on the cover of Turtle Feathers.
A most productive interlude. Plus: funny picture!
A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: Go out and find something unexpected to take a picture of, or something that looks different close up than far away.

Great cover reveal!
I’ve just been trying to lure my outdoor cats up to the house to eat breakfast. They came surprisingly close. Considering that two men were hanging out of the nextdoor neighbor’s near window doing a tear-out for a window replacement. !!!! They started at 8:00 am. It takes an amazing amount of racket to replace a window. (fun fact)

I like the pics especially the one with the wolf sitting before the monk. A week away only to concentrate on writing is something special. It reinvigorates the creativity.
Shalom,

August 15, 2015 at 10:00amPat, they tell me the monk is St. Francis, who supposedly preached to a wolf and kept it from devouring a town. Nobody else seems to see the humor of his missing his fingers, which I maintain is what would probably happen to somebody who tries to preach to a hungry wolf.
