I am so honored I have been featured with my article Space and Inspiration on the site of Author James J. Cudney IV, in the Tips and Advice section, where authors can share their tips on any subject they love. My topics always gravitate around design, style, and colors, that’s what I do the best since I have conducted my design business for three decades and not showing signs of wanting to quit.
In this article, the ceiling is the protagonist. I talk about how the ceilings might play a good role in inspiring writers. Some of my pictures show extravagant ceilings of places I have visited in Europe. I am not saying that to have an inspiration, a writer must have one of those highly decorated and historical ceilings to be able to write.
Inspiration can come from anything, even from a stone, or from a dollop of butter curled in an unusual way. It happened to me a long time ago, when looking at that dollop of butter on my plate, I ended up designing the exterior part of a home in Italy.
It’s easier for me to look up above if I am waiting for something to come to me, a spiritual, artistic, or a fantasy inspiration. That phrase my father pronounced “You are not going to find it on the floor” stuck with me ever since.

Valentina, this is such a delightful post! I loved “You are not going to find it on the floor” — I need to remember that. It reminds me of a quote by Charlotte Bronte, “I try to avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward.”
Here’s to taking the roof off the imagination! Hugs on the wing.

Charlotte Bronte’s quote is a great one as well, Teagan. My father’s teaching is embedded in my brain, he was an extravagant person. Thanks for the visit and your comment.
