So in an attempt to add more to this blog, because I’m always working on making this blog better, I’ve declared October the month of images, and I’m hoping to continue including images after October is over. And in keeping with the vein of images, I wanted to write about why I love images so much.
It’s no secret that I write, and write a lot. I’ve written entire posts about that, and I don’t think I need to rehash the past. If you’re interested in learning about my love of writing search my “All About Writing” tag and go to the “All About Writing” page I have on this blog. You can learn all about my love with writing there.
What I want to write about tonight is how I use images in my writing. I love pictures. It’s why I love Pinterest and why I’ve spent hours scouring the internet looking for just the right image. I use images as inspiration for my writing. I’ve planned entire stories around a single image, and I’ve planned other stories around a series of images. Images tell a story all their own, and I like to think of that and run with it when I’m writing. Sometimes I think that my job isn’t to make up a story but to tell a story with words that images are telling all their own.
What about all of you? Do you think that images are inspiring or are images just images? Let me know!

PS: Because today’s post is entitled “Love of Images” I thought I would (once again) share an (itty bitty) gallery of images. All of these images are from Pinterest. I don’t own them; I just love them.
