O my little Petunias! Today’s exercise is most Delicious. All you must do is these three simple steps:
1. Consider the Fiction you have read recently. What have you most Adored? What has Inspired you? What has Delighted you? What has Challenged you?
2. Pen a Letter of Gratitude to the Author. Many Authors can be found on their Web-Sites; others may be reached via their Publishers. Tell the Author how much you Enjoyed his or her Work. If the Author you admire is no longer Living, simply send the Message via the Usual Channels.
3. In the course of your Contemplation and Letter-Writing, let yourself be Reminded of what Splendor drew you to Writing at all. Let the Fires of your Enthusiasm be Rekindled. Reread the Works that Inspired you; Regain the Mind that could so easily be Inspired.
Then, my little Pachyderms, turn your Refreshed Mind back to your own Writing, and Prosper.
This is so beautiful.
