Watching American Idol makes me dream about my inner singing artist, however it's been so long since I sang a song... that artist has flew the coup I'm afraid. But my writing artist is still going strong and watching children play, watching and playing with my dogs, reading, watching movies, looking at beautiful and peaceful scenery all help me relax and help me create.Allyn Stotzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125021589041199877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-25451183343452281672012-05-29T11:31:53.045-04:002012-05-29T11:31:53.045-04:00Reading always keeps me going, but nature itself g...Reading always keeps me going, but nature itself gets my creative juices flowing.KatieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365154373483382775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-25827138309571352392012-05-29T10:36:18.284-04:002012-05-29T10:36:18.284-04:00Fantastic post to read this morning, Ruth.
