Joan,
Tis the season for yummy food…seems like we often want what isn’t good for us. Thanks for the wide variety of pictures and captions to stimulate creativity.
I did enjoy choosing foods for characters in a breakfast scene I’m writing. This post reminded me how I thought about what food would suit each one best.
Enjoy the holiday foods and get-togethers.
Dear Linda,
Thanks for writing. You’re welcome for the wide variety of pictures. I’m glad they stimulated creativity and you were able to find breakfast items for one of your characters. Thanks for your holiday wishes!
Celebrate you every day of the year

Now I just want breakfast. I write about athletes so there are a lot of cards in the diet. I have one pregnant character so that influences what she eats. I’m going think about putting in foods my characters don’t like. Thanks for the idea. Could make an awkward dinner party moment out of this.
Dear Kristina,
Thanks for writing. I’m glad you ate a good breakfast while reading my blog, even if only a cyber breakfast. I understand that your pregnant character would have to watch what she eats. Some pregnant women develop Gestational Diabetes…in which case they really have to watch their carbs and sugars. You’re right, If your character is adamant about not eating a certain foods and the only foods served at a dinner party in her honor fall into this list, it could create havoc unless she does her Yoga centering! Enjoy developing your great characters! You’re making me want to find out more about them!
Celebrate you
Never Give Up
