This morning I woke up fully intending to write on the novel...and after I wrote a line of dialogue, I promptly got distracted by skimming through some of my favourite people's blogs.
I was feeling like some illustration inspiration, which I found in abundance at the blog of Miss Via Fang, who is an illustration master at the Edinburgh College of Art. In fact, I think it's about time that I pester her to do some illustrations for my novel. Yes, Jocelyn in full Victorian formal dress...in the form of a deer. Perfect.
Then I doodled on over to Emma Bartholomew's blog, The Bedside Poet, for some warm morning words to go with my coffee in this chilly autumn morning.
And because all inspiration (and distraction) should also be three dimensional, I am also spending some time sifting through the new collections of designer Jenny Sweetnam and making an imaginary wish list. I was able to wear one of her pieces, fondly called a "Flexi Hexi", which looks similar to her Dogtooth Cape design, yesterday for the first time since last winter. This, of course, reminded me of how many other of her pieces are on my wishlist. Then, meandering through her site this morning, I found lots of new items to add to that list.
And now the novel calls again, so I will leave these blogs for others to peruse.
