Music is such a powerful inspiration for me as well. Amazing how you can access your imagination so vividly from a random song. Do you capture these visions somehow?DanetteWed, 14 Jan 2009 23:55:59 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/the-smell-of-crayons-tapping-into-your-creative-freedom/#comment-5134006Thank you!

I've gotten an entire novel idea from a song randomly caught off the radio before...KellyeWed, 14 Jan 2009 11:06:15 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/the-smell-of-crayons-tapping-into-your-creative-freedom/#comment-5113714Beautifully written Danette!
