My monster is alive over at
Flames Rising. It's a fun little piece, and I'm excited to see it up. It was very wired to see my name next to Monty Cooke's on the Flame's Rising livejournal update. Does that give me geek cred? I hope so.
Most of the time I don't know where my inspiration comes from. Rarely, it comes from a movie, or a book or a conversation. In this case, I know exactly where it
came from. A lot of JR's photography tells a story. Actually, a lot of it tells so complete a story that I rarely feel the need to write anything with it. In this case, I was fortunate enough that she left just enough room in her visual narrative for Eloise to be born in my brain.
