Falling~

It's no wonder I have a hard time working; sure I can stare at a computer screen all day, or I can gaze out the window and let my mind wander with possibilities. I usually choose the latter. There's something about the fall that always ignites my creative side. It's a combination of the vibrancy, the colors more alive to me than all year long; the crisp fresh scent of morning and the romantic way the fog surrounds you only to burn off in mid-afternoon leaving a sunlit paradise.

This is the scene I've played over and over in mind. The cabin by the lake, smoke coming out of the chimney, leaves falling to the ground in a delicate harmony. The author inside with a cup of hot tea and ideas filling the pages as the characters come to life. Here is a place of quiet, a place of solitude, a peaceful deliverance from ordinary life. Because there are thoughts, there are ideas and they flow like spring runoff into one another and it makes something beautiful.
