Ignite Imagination

Hi all,

Sorry I've neglected this blog for so long. I'm ready to get back in the saddle though, and intend to use this space for stuff that's too personal or in-depth for facebook or twitter.

Got a fantastic forward this morning from mummy dearest that I really love. It especially speaks to me at this moment in time, as I've decided I want to focus on pursuing my career in writing so that I can put my meandering mind and outlandish ideas to good use.

While her daughter is sound asleep, the mother of the little girl in these pictures creates an alternate universe from whatever she can find around her. Like this woman, I too like to have fun with fiction. So here's the story I came up with, as a result of being inspired by these photographs...

Once upon a time, a woman found the perfect way to incorporate her personal and professional life. Originally, she did this as a hobby, until it took off and become profitable (massively profitable, so that she and her daughter were able to move out of their stingy 1 bedroom apartment and to a beautiful bungalow by the beach, where they listen to Melody Gardot and eat expensive vegan marshmallows all day). In my mind (my presumptuous mind - you can blame it on "creativity"), thanks to her new found fame, she was able to quit her day job (she probably just did it to pay the bills) and now indulges in doing what she loves most. Her passion and outstanding propensity to create these beautifully poetic "scenes" has made her famous and given her the opportunity to "live to work," not "work to live."

Here is a link to her blog: http://milasdaydreams.blogspot.com/

I'm looking really forward to reading it when I get a chance!

Have a great day, all. And please "follow" by blog if you can. I know it needs a massive makeover and I promise that along with the content, I'll be improving the look and logistics of it.

xx

Me.
