I am trained in the visual arts and have always been a hands-on type of person...photography with little Photoshop work, illustration by hand, etc. When time is a factor I'll start in the computer but when I can, especially when traveling, I'll work from the journal.abstractLattehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10349015891459591746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22748052.post-76550809460591145382009-07-24T02:21:07.509-04:002009-07-24T02:21:07.509-04:00I used to do something similar in the sense that I...I used to do something similar in the sense that I always carried a journal around and jotted down notes, including detailing whatever it was that I saw which happened to inspire me. <br /><br />I still jot down notes, but I don't actively carry a journal with me unless we are on a trip, when my day pack has a small notebook for ideas and such.

Recently, I've been writing on ficly, and before that ficlets. When the latter site shut down I searched for inspiration because my muse was shut down with it.
