Wednesday Inspirations 7

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Have you guys been checking out the new Pub Crawl member introductions every day? We’ve already had debut authors Jodi Meadows and Erin Bowman on Monday and Tuesday, and today it’s Rachel Seigel (a book seller!). That’s three down and three more to go! 

Also, a heads up that next Monday, I’m going to be participating in the YAmazing Race with MGnificent Prizes, put on by some fellow Apocalypsies (MG and YA debuts of 2012). Here’s some more info! I’ll elaborate more on Monday. The post is supposed to be up all week, though, so while there will be a post this Sunday, there won’t be a Wednesday post next week. You’ll probably be too busy checking out all the other posts in the Race anyway, though!

I’m still working away on Book 2, trying to pin down the atmosphere of the thing (along with, you know, the plot, character arcs, etc, lol). Looking at pictures tends to help me do that, so I’ve been spending some free time combing through weheartit.com for ones that match the mood/setting of the story. I can’t show them to you, as they’d be rather spoiler-y for both WHAT’S LEFT OF ME and Book 2, but here are some other, less relevant but still rather inspiring pictures I found :)

I sort of love the composition of this one...

Would you ever go cliff diving? I’d like to think I would, haha. Maybe, maybe ;) My parents went sky-diving once, when I was too little to participate. Now that I am old enough, I keep thinking about it. Can’t let my parents beat me out on these things, you know ;)

And finally, here’s a quote I read recently and haven’t been able to get out of my mind:

“It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by.  How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment?  For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone.  That is where the writer scores over his fellows:  he catches the changes of his mind on the hop.”  ~Vita Sackville-West

Have a great rest of the week!
