I had a really busy day today, but it went well, so I'm feeling good about that. I even feel like getting my story outlines out and seeing if I can jog my memory as to what I was planning to write this month.

I wrote a story for an "art challenge" once, where the story was to be based in Tolkien!verse but where a painting/piece of artwork of my choice from the "real world" was the source of inspiration for the story. I really enjoyed doing it, and didn't have much trouble finding a painting that triggered the idea I needed for a Tolkien canon-based story.
