Reaction Outline:
-Exacerbation: A plethora of dappled words stream as I triumph-ally climb lichen covered stones toward Mt Hinchman.
-A list of smithy words can easily be mined off Hinchman's pages. Make a word list! I will help you later...
-I stumbled while diving into Hinchman's pages, however discussed I felt she lured me as a blackdevil angler in to her world of creativity. Fascinated I was spurred into her mind and ways. The juxtaposition of liking and disliking continue page after page. Her horse love for sinewy stallions romping the plans, over tested thoroughbreds on a track tipped my mind to creative though. Hinchman does journaling. Capturing your mind she wistfully titillates the synapses of the cortex as lighting bugs on a damp summer eve.
-Practice make production come with ease
-The vomiting of specifics annoys me. However I cherish a thesaurus, creating brighter specifics myself. So the grating finger nail on a chalkboard will never be gone as chalk is eclipsed itself.
-I need to find a good website for creative words.
-Hinchman's connection with living creature is evident. She like many great naturalist collect and study once living artifacts.
-Study animals: Beauty is the transformation of the simple. Such as movement, growth, day/night.
