Hi Mare!
How did I not know about this until today?? It’s great to see you over here – what a pleasant surprise!

I love the idea of a swipe file (have you talked about it before?) – I’ve recently been working on getting this going – the non electronic version – and it’s just a really great way for me to come up with ideas. Great stuff (as usual!).

I’m working on a series of novels, and a few months back I started a folder on my laptop where I store copies of photographs, paintings, and images I find online for exactly that purpose. For example, I have written one entire chapter whose physical setting matches a Victorian-era painting I ran across.

It’s nice to put a name to this technique and it’s great to have the additional ideas of what to ‘swipe’. ..bruce..
