This week's WIP Wednesday post is sponsored by Natalie L Sin and Katey Taylor and their posts about inspirational images.
The below image, and a collection of others available on the same web page, about a Fairytale Ukraine village inspired a new scene in my novel, Theatre of Curious Acts. Can't you just see the dragon flying above it and surely you know that three of the four horsewomen and the soldiers they have trapped are standing just behind the lens.
Theatre currently stands at 38,056 words and at 50,000 words total (yep, it's a short one), I hope to have the redraft done by next Wednesday.

That is a cool pic. good luck with Theatre.
It makes me want to write a fairy tale.
Love that photo. 50K words is fine with me. I like my reads lean and hungry.
Likin' the pic too. My hubby is of Ukranian and Russian descent. Inspirational stuff, their cultures. I love Baga Yaga.
Happy drafting.
The house looks like it's wearing a gnome's hat : )
I love that picture. Right out of Alan Lee's head.
Oh man I love it. Reminds me of the Hut on Fowl's Legs from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. You just know some witch is living there. Mmmm.
The picture really does inspire the imagination.
Awesome picture!
I thought I saw my stolen bike out front.
Turned out to be a wagon or something.
What a cool place that would be to write a book.
Aaron, me too.
Rebecca, I'm going to have to look up more.
Natalie, I'll never be able to look at it the same way again. ;)
Jeremy, :D
Katey, shush, I don't want to have to add a witch to the proceedings, there's already too much going on. ;)
Thanks, Alan & John
Ray, ha!
Danielle, tell me about it. I think we should all start work on fairy tales.
Oh, wow, gorgeous pic. I've bookmarked that site. Thanks for sharing that. :)
Best of luck with the new draft. And that IS indeed an awesome photograph
Diana, you're welcome :D
Thanks, Barry.
Truly awesome pic! I've found looking at art work can be really inspiring.
Love that pic. It inspires quite a bit for me. I love when I see something that evokes emotion and creativity. :-) Thanks for sharing.
I love that picture! I want to live there (at least for a little while).
You're doing great on the rewrite!
