I have compassion for all the people and living things in this storm's path. <br /><br />I read a scary article about subduction earthquakes yesterday. The western coast of the US and Canada are at risk. The article said that such a massive earthquake is pretty much 0% survivable along the coast, the one risk in nature like that. <br /><br />Fortunately people can survive a hurricane, if they take the warnings seriously. That's the big risk ~ People who want to ride it out or can't get out. Terry and his brother used to go down Florida whenever a hurricane threatened where their elderly mother lived. Such good men!<br /><br />Sending you and Hugh more hugs and wishes that you stay warm and dry!<br />Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-18084672486628523912016-10-06T11:28:03.909-06:002016-10-06T11:28:03.909-06:00Thanks, Angela!

My fantasy is actually set in another location, but I have oodles of photos for that setting. But that place is so prosaic; the dreamlike feel of this city sure helps me slip into the unreal. I sometimes use music to help with the emotions in my writing, but I hadn't thought of audio from a particular place. What an awesome idea!

The kitchen of Red Fish Blue Fish is an old container, and customers eat on stools at long slabs of log on the wharf ~ great food, great fun! I think of you every time I pass a cool shop window, and I've been snapping photos. I hope to get a blog post up with the pictures in the somewhat near future. You would fall in love with this place, I am sure of it! There is art everywhere. Have a wonderful evening ~ well it's probably getting close to bedtime in Montreal ~ Have a wonderful Thursday, my special Montreal friend!

I'm usually pretty much done with a piece of writing (any writing, not just fiction) when I've worked through my questions. If the final draft is above the maximum word number, then I still must cut. Blogging has been a great taskmaster, let me tell you! I'm glad that you have enjoyed my photos ~ You can probably tell that photography is a passion of mine.

To me, a draft is like a snapped photo; the real artistry comes with the rewriting/editing of a draft, and the playing/editing with a photo ~ both raw materials to be massaged to bring out the best. And it is way too much fun! I hope you've had a great IWSG Day!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-79649999542911078052016-10-05T18:38:48.515-06:002016-10-05T18:38:48.515-06:00Thanks for your kind and encouraging words, Sheena...Thanks for your kind and encouraging words, Sheena-kay!
