Writey Thoughts

[awanderingbard]

Does anyone else have an inspiration folder for their writing? I have a file of photos to help me picture people, places or objects I'm writing about. Like, I have a picture of Miranda's engagement ring, and some cuff links that were almost part of a Sherlock story, and stock photos of children who look like my mental images of Fay, Mal and Graylin, and some dresses that I don't think I even ended up describing, but are still how I picture them to look. Is this something weird, or do other people do this too?

In other completely random news: screw you, Downton Abbey and the British television that you rode in on!

Oh, that's a good idea! I hadn't thought of multiple writers seeing things differently, but of course they would.

Downton's not for everyone. I enjoy it, but I totally see why some people don't. So, you know, you may not be missing out, really. But you might be. Such is life. :-D
