Killing two creative outbursts with one post.
My froggie-character-study-in-progress (She’s going to be the heroine of my Fairy-Poem) AND 3 USELESS haiku:
Creativity
can’t use it for anything
except nourishment
Non-dominant hand
competing for attention
with dominant brain
It’s useless to think
talent and “art” are the same
just proceed on faith
In case you missed my other character-studies:
Year of the Fairy Tale – character development (mine)
Year of the Fairy Tale – Let’s Face it
Prompt – USELESS
I can have talent for art… indeed both cannot be same….Wonderful Judy… I liked it.. .nothing ‘hinky’ at all.. I was just wondering that you remove.. T for talent from Thinker.. it becomes a “Hinker”.. wow!! One always learns here..
THANK YOU!!!
RS:)

Hinky, Dinky, Do, Alice stood up on her shoe,Glad she was Found and not Underground, Hinky, Dinky, Do. Ms. Judith, this is with your non-dominant hand? I wrote my email to you BEFORE I saw this. Now, I have to say I am really impressed. Love Peachy Keen jr.

HiberKeen,
Combination of dominant and non-dominant. The ones that are the most fun are non-dominant hand. At first it’s really frustrating drawing from a real picture with non-dominant hand. Then when I let go of trying to make it actually look like the picture it’s really fun and the drawings are so loose and whimsical and make me laugh.
TRY IT!
Love your Hinky Dinky nursery rhyme!!!

Phylor,
You probably DIDN’T miss the whole point of my post that my Froggie isn’t the prince. I’ve not disclosed the plot cuz I’m trying to build the suspense!

good idea — I’ve always been a fast reader, I just don’t retain it the same way.
I saw your “prince” post, read this twice and now I think I’m where I should be?

Alice,
Great hinky response (don’t know what a “hinky” is but I like it!)
AND
I’m so glad that the word is “nearly”.

Hinky? Southern slang I picked up in my youth (I think). Something is “hinky” when it’s a bit off, out of line, bent, not right. May be said about a person ie “There was something hinky about him.”
Me too on the nearly part. Thanks. 🙂

I love both the haiku and the illustrations. The two different froggies look like they have different personalities–so interesting! 🙂

Wordcoaster! Of course they have different personalities. No two frogs are the same!

I guess I should have been more specific; I meant they seem to have VERY different personalities. Maybe not opposite, but… pretty close. I imagine they would make for quite a dynamic duo. If you ever write and illustrate a story about two frogs, I will read it in a heartbeat. 🙂

Wordcoaster,
You were very clear! I was just kidding about the froggies personalities! You’ve inspired me — DYNAMIC DUO — there’s definitely a tale to be told! Now that you’ve embedded an idea in my psyche it will burble and incubate. I’ll keep you posted!

Wonderful! Whenever that burbling incubation percolates to a creative action–do keep me informed! 😀
