My mother was a talented artist. I did not inherit that, or her penchant for being a nurse (I do not have the iron stomach she had). I inherited my "talents" (ahem?!) from my dad: writing and accounting, not necessarily in that order. We both loved writing, and we both did accounting to pay the bills (oooo, see what I did there? I made a funny!). So, coming up with something for the topic CREATE is a real challenge.
I am writing "a" book (or is it three books? I sort of have not come to a conclusion on that, yet). It is a work in progress, and making little progress these days.
It has been an extremely hectic week here, and for reasons I can't go into at the moment, I'm going to cheat just a tad and post a throwback photo as this week's snapshot. It's a picture of my cat, Tux, lying among my father's WWII letters. [insert shameless plug alert, here] This photo became the cover for my second book, "More Than Anything In The World, Volume 2" which I published on CREATEspace.com.
I really love this picture because it conveys so many things I love: my pets, writing, my parents, and my sweet "un-husband" (that's his desk and his Rensselaer Polytech lamp!).
Next week is Valentine's Day (already??) so we will be posting about L-O-V-E love.
Until then, stay safe, particularly if you are in the snowmageddon zone like we are!
I had never before thought about how difficult it is to photograph "create" when writing is what you are best at! I hope your week is getting better and thanks for the snapshot that made me smile. Oh! And my mother is a simular creative superstorm... all of which I am not. :)
