I really like this quote from novelist Bobbie Ann Mason:
“I’ve always found it difficult to start with a definite idea, but if I start with a pond that’s being drained because of a diesel fuel leak and a cow named Hortense and some blackbirds flying over and a woman in the distance waving, then I might get somewhere.”
I love this quote, too. I’ve found that with interior designs, sometimes it’s the limitations that inspire the rest. Much more fun to deal with a complicated architectural issue than with a plain white box.
Shalom Red,
I see that you too are a fan of Garrion Keillor’s The Writer’s Almanac..
Do you perhaps know the origin of the Mason quote?
B’shalom,
