I dreamed about a place called "Wildwood" last night. It was nearby, but off the main road (accessible by dirt roads), and had a food forest and gardens with plenty for everyone (humans and wildlife). I'm hoping it's one of those deja vu dreams, where this place actually exists and I'll be visiting it.

@DoomsdaysCW Off the beaten path looks like someone spent a lot of time making walkways. lol.
@knowprose Heh. That's what I get for posting BC (before coffee). I meant "off the main road".

@DoomsdaysCW Yeah... I actually check out OldBookIllustrations.com a lot for stuff.

Or the Wikimedia commons.

I actually have a lot of fun fiddling with public domain images.

It's become my new 'thing'. lol

@knowprose And yeah, I grabbed a random photo from the 'net.

@knowprose You had me at "trees" and "goats"!

@DoomsdaysCW

The truth is it takes me maybe a few hours to write something, and I spend the rest of the day fiddling with images.

Because I stink at it, and it's fun, and I begin stinking less.

Relatable, @knowprose ! I'm like that with research though. I start by wondering about one thing in my story, then I dive into a rabbit hole of images and research.

@DoomsdaysCW Yeah!

Part of my process these days is fiddling with images while background processing other stuff.

It's fun for me. Weird, right?

Not weird at all, @knowprose ! I refer to some aspects of my thought processes as "background processing".
