It’s been a long time since I’ve dabbled in the Photography Challenge I took on last summer, but I haven’t given up on completing the list. One of the more intriguing prompts involved the search for a word that illustrates my day. It turns out I didn’t have to look very far. My writing space is full of words and objects that define my attitude and perception about any given day . . . even the “bad” days.
I settled on photographing a combination of objects that serve as my ultimate inspiration when I sit down to write. They are my constant reminders that no matter what, I am a writer and a creative spirit.

Whenever I’m stuck, I pick up that stone and rub my thumb over the word. It does a world of good. 🙂

I’ve always been a rack collector and especially like rocks with words inscribed on them. This one is particularly inspiring. 🙂

I found it at a store in Northern Wisconsin. They had all the usual stones – believe, inspire, imagine – but “create” stood out to me as something a little different. 🙂

Thanks. I let my camera’s autofocus play with the background. I must have tried dozens of different intervals before I got what I was looking for. 🙂

I also have a little talisman that says “create” on my desk, made of leather. A daily reminder! Love your photo and its mysterious mood.
