Writing: Inspired by Eating Style



Just as I sat down at the computer to dream up a post on what inspires me, the TV in the other room blared: inspired by food.  Yeah, okay, I can take a message even when the universe delivers via the boob tube.

  2. It's fun too! And can involve a bunch of different senses.
