If Walls Could Talk

Time to fire up everyone’s imagination! Don’t know about you, but I can hardly drive by an abandoned house without creating a story in my mind.  My first book, #WakeRobinRidge, came about due to driving by a long deserted log cabin between Asheville and Chimney Rock, North Carolina. I saw it every year on my mountain pilgrimage, and it never failed to make me wonder what stories it could tell. With that in mind, here are some fantastic photos of abandoned houses, sure to make you ponder–and maybe even write a book about. Enjoy!

#InspirationBoardSunday #SundayBlogShare

Short and sweet today. Sometimes the photos on my Inspiration Board are there because they look like a good jumping off place for a new story, and sometimes they are there simply because they are so beautiful, and beauty is its own inspiration. Here are six favorites of mine. Hope they speak to something in you. 🙂

Story Prompt?

Took our grandson to the zoo Sunday, and while there, came upon this Odd Couple in the reptile house. This is an emerald tree boa (I think), and his companion…which looks remarkably like a chocolate frog, but was very much alive…was sleeping about a half an inch from the snake’s nose. While we watched, it moved up even closer. Is this a froggie with a death wish? Or are emerald tree boas capable of enjoying lap pets? One has to wonder.  Maybe there’s a good story in here somewhere…could work for a kid’s book. OR, maybe there’s this really good-looking herpetologist, and maybe he has trouble getting dates, because some women don’t care much for things that slither.  Or maybe it’s just a really cool photo I wanted to share with you today. 😀 Enjoy!
