I love going through old magazines. Though I have to admit, I waste a lot of time reading when I'm supposed to be pricing :)

I *love* that picture! What a fabulous touchstone image to have!

It really is. And it's exactly what I needed as a reminder to let Anie be who she is, which is definately not a mainstream seventeen-year-old.

Wow, that's a FABULOUS cover. Could inspire all sorts of things! How neat that you found your character in it! Probably a good sign that you're totally absorbed in your writing at the moment, too!

Thanks for stopping by, Anne.

Yeah, I'd rather stay home and write today. Then again, maybe I'll find something else inspiring at work.
