Things We Love

Here are a few of the things we both love (we’ll add more as we think of them):

Stuff:

.

Laureen Falco’s The Art of Soy Candle Making – Laureen is a dear friend and made this How-To DVD last year.  We’ve always been fascinated by soy candles, so we were thrilled when she got it finished.  And it’s really, really good.

.

.

Reference books:

.

Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style is one of the three “must have” reference books in every writer’s library.

.

.

.

The book we open the most, it seems, is Roget’s Thesaurus. We even use it to come up with names of people, places and stories!

.

.

.

One of the techniques we teach for getting past blocks was directly inspired by this amazing book about creativity, The Artist’s Way.
