Welcome to "The Last Leaf Gardener," a blog by Patricia Youngquist. I am a photo-artist, bird-lover and urban gardener living in NYC. My website includes my non-nature themed images (Black and White as well as Kaleidoscopic). Click on the second image in sidebar (Right)) to visit. I also have published a three volume book series, "Words In Our Beak," in which the stories are told by Cam, the bird pictured above. Click on the first image in the sidebar (also Right) for info.

IMAGINATION will take you EVERYWHERE (Thursday's Testimony)
The quotation on the image atop this entry is correct is spot on. As a writer, I find it's most essential to use my imagination. Stephen King seems to concur.
In his book, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, King states,"If not for heart and imagination, the world of fiction would be a pretty seedy place."
It was great to exercise my imagination to write the book series, Words In Our Beak, where the stories are set in my rooftop garden and told from the perspective of a female cardinal. The three volume book series is part fiction in that a cardinal is doing the story telling but the information she provides is factual, making this series both fiction and nonfiction.
