essayelWhat's the first thing you think of when you see something like this? Other than "ooh that'd bring tears to your eyes".
Make jam of course.
It's funny how creativity breeds creativity. Over the past couple of weeks I have done more drawing and painting than I have for a couple of years and I've also been writing more seriously. I've dragged out a couple of old unfinished stories and added bits and have taken a finished one that was heavily cut [for a submission to a publisher I was warned off of] and am tweaking it and replacing all the plot points that had to go to make the word count. It might never go anywhere but the characters are happier in my head to have a raison d'etre beyond merely boinking for theoretical readers passing entertainment.
Aaaaaand I feel like cartooning again. Vacations are wonderful things!
