Photo Friday: On Pointe Visual Reflection

Lorie Ann Grover, 2010

Here's my visual interpretation of my novel On Pointe. I really like the little blood speckles. Yep.

I heart Robert McKee!

Do you know STORY? Oh, my! You must, must, must read Robert McKee's work.

I've dissected, tabbed, underlined, taped, boiled down, and reviewed this classic screenwriting text. And I'm still learning. Novelists, take my advice and buy your own copy now!

Now, back to page one...

Photo Friday: Inspired by Time

This was my first Polyvore image I created. I arranged it for Little Willow, Alice in Wonderland fan and friend.

And one more note. It was my daughter Ellen who pointed me to Polyvore. Thank you, Ellen!

Reflections: Art for Loose Threads

I'm so, so excited to discover Polyvore.com It's allowing me to express myself visually with computer generated imagery. It's more limited than playing in Photoshop, but it's so accessible, I find I'm heading over frequently to express ideas and thoughts.

I plan to post my compositions here, maybe for Photo Friday, if I can wait that long. In the meantime, here's today's image, where I was thinking about my first novel Loose Threads. It was fun to rethink it apart from the cover. This is art that reflects my themes in the book. Thanks for looking!

Poetry Friday: Illuminated

Illuminated

Rushing through darkness,
artificial light glows me
up in this moment.

Poetry Friday: Fins

Fins

I heart my flippers
that flap, flip, fly through the world
of fluttering fish.
