Given that I do want to fluff out the romance a bit, I have to think less "claws" and more "woof!"

For those who are NOT visual, they may need to take a different tack.<br /><br />Think big - think not just actors/characters, but wardrobes, BEDS (hey, I write sex), restaurants. I always need to SEE the scene in my head before I write it. Looking forward to reading more and finding how it's working for you. :-)Beverly Diehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392288953821757887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679351593858166308.post-62422031634543969422012-06-11T19:42:22.670-04:002012-06-11T19:42:22.670-04:00I've heard of doing this before and I think it...I've heard of doing this before and I think it's a great idea.

I think I've seen that commercial you mention - movie-makers tell stories visually, so it totally makes sense that they'll be inspired by what they see. :-)Mina Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173895884776280826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679351593858166308.post-85992595772717204192012-06-11T10:23:41.076-04:002012-06-11T10:23:41.076-04:00That's a great idea to do a collage to assist ...That's a great idea to do a collage to assist in your writing. Crafters always advise that we cut out pictures from catalogs and magazines and put them in an inspiration book. Never thought about it for writers, but it makes perfect sense. It's like that commercial running now about how people's photographs have helped Ron Howard put together a film, and they show him pondering a bulletin board full of different photos.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679351593858166308.post-87920081818970780982012-06-11T08:39:33.909-04:002012-06-11T08:39:33.909-04:00That's a pretty cool idea!
