Visualizing Scenes

There are times any writer hits a wall and has difficulty pushing forward. Whenever I get stuck, I’ll spend some time drawing the scene I’m trying to write. This has several benefits — it keeps me engaged in The Tapestry’s world, allows me to use different creative “muscles”, and permits me to work on the story without necessarily spinning my wheels on the aspect that’s giving me trouble. Often, when I’ve completed a sketch of a difficult scene, my brain has untangled some of the writing snags and I can continue on my way…
