My friend Nicole Pacetti-Simpson is, like me, aspiring. Her aspiration is to become a photographer. So we are working in cahouts to make our dreams into reality. I have asked her to send me photographs that I can then use as inspiration for my writing.
The post below includes a picture Nicole took of her dog Brie in front of their Christmas tree. I wrote the accompanying poem and challenged myself to get it done in less than an hour. It was a great exercise to focus my mind on a single image, rid myself of that need (that I think many writers feel) to write something "serious" and "meaningful" and to instead, just write. I will definitely try it again!
