A Ray of sunshine, Guest blogger "Carreen"

Barely a day goes by that I don't feel compelled to write.



It balances my mood, resets my counter, and puts the world back in order.



So when I read this passage by Ray Bradbury, I couldn't help but feel kinship with a writer I've never known. A writer who has achieved success beyond my wildest wordsmith dreams. I feel humble and filled with gratitude for what his words have done for me today.

* * *


To sum it all up, if you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling.



You must write every single day of your life.



You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next.



You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads.



I wish for you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime.

I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you.



May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories—science fiction or otherwise.



Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.



- Ray Bradbury, one of the greatest authors America has ever known

Test shoot #1, "The Warehouse".

Don't let the curlers fool you, this woman

knows how to have fun. Just another day

in the life of a photographer.
