Pink Flowers Keep Me from Writing

Does a certain color inspire you?

There’s a pink tulip tree outside my bedroom window. A cherry tree with arms of pink flowers dances in my yard. Pink camellias open to the sun on the side of my house. On my dining table, there’s a vase of pink tulips.

I have pages to write, a novel to edit.

I talk about how beauty inspires me. This is why I’m an artist, writer because of the beauty that surrounds me and is in me.

Pink begs me to look, watch — lest it leaves too soon, the flowers, the color, as it fades into the brown of Northern California.

I cannot not look.

Does any color inspire me to open my computer? Maybe it’s pink.

And you? What color inspires you to create?
