Pretty pictures! And my WIP!

I've always wanted to do a WIP picture spam post.

The idea is that you've collected a bunch of relevant images to inspire your writing. Or, in my case, you've collected a bunch of images after the fact that remind you of why you love your WIP when editing. All in all, there are pretty pictures involved, so I'm sharing them with you guys, okay?

Woo! So what do you think? Did this post tell you everything that you ever wanted to know about my WIP? Also, have you ever done a WIP picture spam post? If so, leave me a link in the comments--I'd love to see what you've collected! And, uh, if not, you should go do one, because it's pretty fun. :)

Pretty pictures! I love how a striking image can instantly evoke a feeling in the viewer. I especially like the bracelet of skulls, and the very last photo...creepy! Makes me want to read your book for sure :}

Yay, thank you~! :D

It's an interesting challenge trying to find evocative pictures for what you're writing actually, because there are just SO MANY that aren't quite perfect. One of the hardest images to pick in this bunch was that bloody hand one. :)

Damn my comment is gone. Ok let see what did I say. I think its an awesome idea. I loved looking at the pictures and relating them to what I know about your book. Some of them I could tell how they related and others I couldn't. I want to try and do this. Maybe it will get me working again.

Aww, that's too bad. :(

And you totally should do you own WIP picture spam post! It's pretty fun surfing around on Flickr and I'm sure it'll help you get in the writing mood! :)

You know, I've READ your WIP. . . and I have no idea how some of these connect. They are all gorgeous, though. I love your taste. Now, I want you to find a whole bunch of pretty pictures like this for me and my WIP, please!

Aww, I'm sure you can figure them all out. :) The pictures don't all have to be a specific thing in the story . . . sometimes it's mood or representation. And, pfft, go do it yourself! I want the surprise of seeing what images resonate with YOU.
