I love the thought of making art with what you have rather than stressing about what you don't have. And I could probably take a leaf out of your book and write less too instead of more!

Thanks, Sue! :) xJoy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-21023079793561567042016-01-14T17:52:23.803+00:002016-01-14T17:52:23.803+00:00So true and often the case when we try to use too ...So true and often the case when we try to use too many "clever" devices in our writing.Thanks for the reminder :) Deborah Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156120348177986321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-77158142460111308542016-01-14T11:42:46.025+00:002016-01-14T11:42:46.025+00:00Love the quote... “Work with what is – rather than...Love the quote... “Work with what is – rather than using what is as an excuse.” I'm getting too good at excuses!Eric Normingtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-3307929758188566842016-01-14T10:12:49.734+00:002016-01-14T10:12:49.734+00:00Brilliant, Sue!
