Very good. And great photos, too.
ReplyDeleteElspeth - Oh, how right you are. One little idea can lead to an entire wonderful forest of a story. It happened to me with my WIP; it all started when I walked by a balcony one day and wondered how high it would have to be for a fall from it to be fatal. Yes, I know, but I'm a mystery novelist. That's my excuse ;-).
ReplyDeleteCarol; Bless Google Images.
ReplyDeleteMargot; Oh, what an excellent way to start the ideas growing! Looking down made your imagination go up. I love it.
Remember where you started. I've been reading a book where the author virtually abandoned the initial inciting incident until halfway through the book.

ReplyDeleteOh, I saw Bambi. Was there anything else I was supposed to get? ;D
ReplyDeleteSo true. There's always something, isn't there?
