Sometimes I like to uses images to spark my creativity--or to help satisfy my need to get artsy without ever pulling out the paint.

Today's inspirations:

What I'd rather be doing...



So if you've been listening to the Freelance Radio podcast, you'll know that we recently did a show about our freelance dilemmas. Mainly, mine.

One of the panelists challenged me to work on magazine queries 15 minutes a day, Monday thru Thursday. Since I couldn't do much because of December's hustle and bustle, he decided to re-issue the challenge in January.

And here we are.

It's Monday. Still Monday. I've done a ton of things today including wrapping up a huge project for one of my best clients, and working on another project for another fab client. I've made appointments, ran errands. I want to rest. Vege. Hit the gym. Cook. Anything but write.

But here I am, and I'm gonna get to work on it.
